It provides insights into how economic systems evolve under different political structures. Political Economy in the Modern World examines classical and contemporary theories of economic governance and global development. The book discusses capitalism, socialism, globalization, and economic inequality. It also explores the influence of international institutions such as the IMF and WTO on national economies. Combining historical analysis with current debates, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how politics and economics interact in shaping global society.
