Windows on the World Economy with Economic Applications » (1st Edition)

Covering international trade, production, finance, and economic development, this textbook provides an introduction to the global economy for students of business, language, social science, or public policy. It assumes some previous familiarity with microeconomics, but does not demand an interest in economics per se. Reinert teaches public policy at George Mason University.
