International trade has shaped the modern world, yet until now no single book has been available for both economists and general readers that traces the history of the international economy from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Power and Plenty fills this gap, providing the first full account of world trade and development over the course of the last millennium. Ronald Findlay and Kevin O'Rourke examine the successive waves of globalization and "deglobalization" that have occurred during the past thousand years, looking closely at the technological and political causes behind these long-term trends. They show how the expansion and contraction of the world economy has been directly tied to the two-way interplay of trade and geopolitics, and how war and peace have been critical determinants of international trade over the very long run. The story they tell is sweeping in scope, one that links the emergence of the Western economies with economic and political developments throughout Eurasia centuries ago.Drawing extensively upon empirical evidence and informing their systematic analysis with insights from contemporary economic theory, Findlay and O'Rourke demonstrate the close interrelationships of trade and warfare, the mutual interdependence of the world's different regions, and the crucial role these factors have played in explaining modern economic growth. Power and Plenty is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the origins of today's international economy, the forces that continue to shape it, and the economic and political challenges confronting policymakers in the twenty-first century.

This book deals with the economics of establishing a frontier by conquest or by peaceful settlement, the costs involved, and the optimum extension of the territory. The opening chapters discuss the most relevant literature about frontiers – conceptual, theoretical and empirical – and introduce the fundamental theoretical model for extending frontiers which is drawn on throughout the book. The authors use this theoretical apparatus by applying it to a number of historical cases. These include the division of the European territory between the Byzantine Empire, Islam and Western Europe, the creation and expansion of the Mongol Empire, the impact of the Black Death, the European discovery of the New World, the staples trade from 1870–1914, and the rise and fall of banditry in Brazil.The Economics of the Frontier brings together a collection of essays which explore how economically optimal frontiers were founded from sixth-century Europe through to twentieth-century Brazil.

Trade, Development and Political Economy demonstrates the power of trade theory to illuminate issues, not only within its conventional boundaries, but also outside of them, in the fields of development, history and political economy.Featuring Ronald Findlay's key papers written over the past two decades, this volume addresses problems that are a mixture of the conceptual and the methodological - such as the theory of comparative advantage and the dynamics of interaction between the advanced and developing regions of the world economy - and the topical and historical - such as the impact of oil shocks on employment and the role of trade and slavery in the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. The majority of these papers develop a model derived from the rich tradition of classical and neoclassical trade theory, and apply that model to a relevant analytical or historical question. The themes in these essays range over the intersection of international trade, economic development and political economy ensuring that this volume will be of interest to all those concerned with the implications of trade theory for economics, development and related fields.

Den orädde debattören är en vänbok till Bo Södersten på 80-årsdagen. Han är mest känd som nationalekonom, framför allt som författare till standardboken International Economics. Han var i tur och ordning professor i nationalekonomi i Göteborg, i internationell ekonomi i Lund och i nationalekonomi med särskild inriktning mot internationell ekonomi i Jönköping från början av 1970-talet till början av 2000-talet. Under skoltiden blev Bo Södersten politiskt intresserad. Han var riksdagsman för Socialdemokraterna 1979-1988 och satt bland annat i finansutskottet. När han kom tillbaka till universitetslivet kom han alltmer att engagera sig i fackliga akademiska frågor. Bo Södersten var under en period på 1990-talet ordförande i SULF (Sveriges universitetslärarförbund). Uppsatserna i Den orädde debattören spänner över de flesta av Bo Söderstens intresseområden. Den innehåller en handfull personliga porträtt av honom, speglar hans intresse för idéhistoria, svensk och internationell ekonomi, utvecklingsfrågor, rättighetsproblem och, sist men inte minst, hans debattvilja. Bo Södersten har aldrig varit riktigt politiskt opportun. Han kunde ta steget från Den hierarkiska välfärden till Kapitalismen byggde landet. Bo Södersten har drivit sina egna frågor, eldad av sin övertygelse, i bland annat Tiden, Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, Dagens Nyheter och Sydsvenska Dagbladet. I boken medverkar Mats Bergstrand, Jagdish Bhagwati, Yves Bourdet, Fredrik Braconier, Henrik Braconier, Karolina Ekholm, Gunnar Eriksson, Ronald Findlay, Gunnar Fredriksson, Birgit Friggebo, Stig Gustafsson, Göte Hansson, Erik Jonasson, Ronald W Jones, Dale W Jorgenson, Peter Kindlund, Mats Lundahl, Nils Lundgren, Johan Lönnroth, Anders Milton, Svante Nycander, Inga Persson, Lennart Petersson, Gunnar Petri, Lars Pettersson, Nils-Eric Sandberg, Bo Sandelin, Fredrik Sjöholm, Birgitta Strömbom och Hans Tson Söderström.
