Beskrivning

This volume examines international economic issues within the framework of institutional economics. It covers the most important international topics that institutional economists historically have addressed. Evolutionary and neoclassical thinking converge and sometimes overlap on the matter of trends and problems of the international economy. A case in point is the increased attention both schools devote to the role of technology in shaping patterns of world trade and specialization. This volume expands and stimulates this discourse on the economics of international relations, including global economic development.

'All in all, I highly recommend the book. ... much can be learned from the chapters, and one or more may well spark an interest in a field that the reader never before considered. I know that was the case with me.' Journal of Economic Issues, XXXII (1998)
