The Rules of the Global Game : A New Look at US International Economic Policymaking

Economic news once confined to the business pages of the newspaper now recieves headline coverage, whether it involves protests in Seattle or sweatshops in Asia. As attention comes increasingly to be focused on economic policy, it becomes even more important for nonecomnomists to be able to make sense of the stories and the coverage. Is the Asian economy sinking or rising? What effects will a single European currency have on the US economy? This book provides a framework to help noneconomists understand and answer these types of questions.
