World Trade: A Network ApproachiUniverse, 2004 - 184 páginas In this timely work, Bernard C. Beaudreau provides a new approach to world trade, one that combines the archaeological and historical record with recent developments in the theory of networks, the result of which is a convincing account of trading patterns, past, present, and undoubtedly, into the future. For the first time, trade theory is no longer at odds with the historical record. Likewise, for the first time, trade policy is no longer at odds with the historical record. In short, this book is the first work of its kind to attempt to integrate over 8,000 years of large-scale international trade. |
