ISBN: 9780333476345 / Angielski / Twarda / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This results from the fact that mainstream economic theory ignores international and national constraints and their interactions with the dynamics of technological transformation. This book develops a completely articulated theory of economic interconnections to deal...

ISBN: 9780333644188 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
