To reflect the enormous changes which have taken place in the world economy in recent years, this text is an almost entirely rewritten version of earlier editions.
Topics covered include:
why crashes occur
what causes some countries to grow and others to stagnate
whether the Euro can survive
the economic underpinnings of terrorism
the dangers of climate change.
