Recenzje

'One of the rare economics textbooks that students actually enjoy reading. Kenneth A. Reinert covers an enormous range of material on international economics succinctly and in a language that students can understand. It is the perfect book for a one-semester course on international trade and finance, which also offers chapters on multinational enterprises and international production for professors who wish to emphasize those topics.' Robert A. Blecker, American University, Washington DC
