'This much enriched edition of Peter Montiel's book provides a clear and thorough introduction to the macroeconomic issues that developing countries and emerging markets in general face in a globalized world. Students and economists in policy circles will find the core short-run macroeconomic model that it uses with so much versatility to be of invaluable help in understanding the fundamental nature of these issues and in thinking about how to respond to them.'
