Editorial Reviews

An abridged and reworked version of a work first published in French, by Economica, Paris, in 1984, with a second edition in 1993. Adopts an economic history and comparative economics approach from the perspective of the French Regulation school, analyzing the economic crisis of the 1970s by comparing it to different growth phases of five countries that have dominated the world economy since 1890. Looks at the differences between these economies, their international links, and economic policies that followed. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
