Trade, Growth, and Inequality

• Combines international trade theory, economic development, and economic growth in one volume
• Exceptional breadth of approach, ranging from mathematical modelling to historical and institutional speculation
• Clearly shows how theory connects with real current issues
• Real world examples focus not only on countries participating fully in globalized trade but also those failing to fully participate

Readership: Academic economists and graduate students studying either development economics or international trade.
