Description
Drawing on a broad-ranging reassessment of the historical and spatial evolution of the world economy, Herman Schwartz argues that the 21st-century world is likely to resemble more closely the late 19th century, in which markets typically overwhelmed state policies, than the mid-20th in which states were often able to control or contain markets. In making his case he provides a comprehensive survey and reinterpretation of the theory and practice of international political economy.
