International economics; Economic systems & structures; International business

In a time of rapid change in the world economy, this fascinating, concise, and user-friendly primer is the most reliable tool for keeping track of

what's happening.

What is the new economy? What is globalization?

Is the euro the final seal on European Union? How is e-commerce transforming our

world beyond economics? What is virtual money, and does it have real value? How do

social concerns and societal ills (drugs, poverty, AIDS, endangered natural resources)

play a part in the rapidly changing world economy? What are multinationals, and do

they signal the end of nationalism? These and many other pertinent issues are addressed in an enlightening and entertaining handbook for those who want to be economically literate

(and who doesn't?).
