Description

Taylor & Francis International Economics A Heterodox Approach 3Rd Edn by Hendrik Van den Berg

Now in its third edition, Hendrik Van den Berg's International Economics: A Heterodox Approach covers all of the standard topics taught in undergraduate international economics courses. Written in a friendly and approachable style, this new edition is unique in that it presents the key orthodox neoclassical models of international trade and investment, while supplementing them with a variety of heterodox approaches. This pluralist approach is intended to give economics students a more realistic understanding of the international economy than standard textbooks can provide._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Changes to the new edition include:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_updates throughout to reflect recent world events, including coverage of trade negotiations and the Greek crisis;_x000D_expanded discussion of pluralist approaches with more coverage of alternative schools of thought;_x000D_discussions of the growing financialization of global economic activity;_x000D_additional real-world examples;_x000D_increased coverage of environmental issues; transnational corporations and their behavior in the international economy; the difference between international investment and international finance; and monetary history;_x000D_a consolidated and updated chapter on international banking._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_This book also maintains a broad perspective that links economic activity to the social and natural spheres of human activity, with emphasis on the distributional and environmental effects of international trade, investment, finance, and migration.
