The European Economy in an American Mirror
ISBN: 9780415512770 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

From observations like these, conclusions can be drawn that Europe will feel irresistible pressure to allow its policies and institutions to converge toward those of the United States. But how far and how fast are uncertain. Edited by...
