Now that the prevailing drift of academic opinion has changed at the expense of Keynesian economics, interventionism and democratic socialism, the work of Professor Wilhelm Roepke is especially relevant. A useful supplemental text for students of introductory economics, as well as professional economists.

This volume clearly presents the principles of international trade and finance and exhibits them as an integral part of the world's economic history and the history of ideas in recent centuries. Overbeek gives a statistical overview of the evolution of international trade and the trade position of the United States in the world, including a brief history of international trade and an analysis of the fundamental aims of mercantilism. He deals with the theory of international trade, barriers to trade, common arguments for and against protection, and regional economic integration. The section of the book dealing with international finance discusses foreign exchange rates, international payments, the balance of payments, national income analysis and foreign trade, the open economy and the AD/AS model and balance of payments adjustment. The last chapter deals with contemporary issues in international finance such as the GATT in the 1990s and the future. Throughout the book Overbeek draws upon economic and intellectual history for supportive examples.

With selected readings ranging from the mercantilists of the 16th and 17th centuries to contemporary 20th century authors, Free Trade versus Protectionism addresses one of the oldest controversies in economic science - the fundamental opposition of these two doctrines. It is the first book ever to trace this debate over more than three centuries.Overbeek presents arguments advanced by advocates of free trade and protectionism alike, creating a useful tool for scrutinizing the standpoints of both schools. The book consists of seven parts, beginning with mercantilism and its critics. Subsequent sections examine the free traders and protectionists of the nineteenth century, the evolution of the debate between 1900 and 1940, and the discussion of free trade versus protectionism during the latter half of the twentieth century. At the beginning of each section, the editor's survey of the period under review places the material in proper context; the selections themselves are then preceded by the editor's introduction, which contains a brief biography of the author and an explanation of the author's views.Free Trade versus Protectionism will prove a useful source book for professors and students of the history of economic thought, international economics, international politics, and international business.
