Growth of the International Economy, 1820-1990: An Introductory Text

Now in its third edition, The Growth of the International Economy 1820-1990 remains the best introduction available to the study of the international economy as a mechanism for diffusing modern economic growth between nations. In this edition, the authors have brought the story up to 1990 and have thoroughly revised the text by including new data and references. The book is divided into three parts: The period from 1820-1914; the collapse of the international economy in the interwar years; and finally, an entirely new discussion of the contemporary international economic system, 1945-1990.
