Weekly econ articles... this week
What’s going on in the world of international trade? Forget about year-to-year bulletins. Even ten-year swatches of time don’t tell you very much if you imagine that the world might have come to a turning point. To think genuinely august thoughts about what might come next in global trade, step back and ponder events on a grand scale. A couple of recent books come in handy here. Either would make a nice vacation companion, depending on your mood.
Power and Plenty: Trade, War and the Global Economy in the Second Millennium, by Ronald Findlay, of Columbia University, and Kevin O’Rourke, of Trinity College, Dublin, is the result of a collaboration between a political economist and a historical economist. A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World, by William Bernstein, provides the movie version of the story.
Will definately be reading these books... as well as these weekly articles!
