Global Economic Institutions (Critical Writings on Global Institutions) (Hardcover), by Willem Molle. Globalization can have positive effects in many areas. This statement should not be as controversial as it often seems. In order for it to realize its potential however, there must be competent global institutions to deal with the problems caused by globalization.
This book examines global economic institutions critically, it presents an accessible fluid history of globalization and explains how global public goods should be defined, how global economic institutions work, and looks at the effect that major organizations such as WTO, IMF, UNEP etc. have on finance, the environment, transport, and so on.
The beauty of Global Economic Institutions lies in its unique approach and the author's ability to explain complicated economic and political systems and terms with commendable clarity and style. Students and academics interested in international business and economics will find this book a useful tool. Researchers, business consultants, policy-makers and so forth may yet come to see this volume asindispensable. Information.

Rise of Free Trade (Critical Concepts in the History of Economics) (Hardcover), by Schonhardt-Bail. Why was Britain the first country to opt for unilateral free trade 150 years ago? On 16 May 1846, the House of Commons voted to abolish tariff protection for agriculture - the famous "repeal of the Corn Laws". Britain then adhered to her free trade policy despite both her relative economic decline and the protectionist policies of her leading trade rivals, the USA and Germany. This four volume set examines and explains the contentious issues surrounding the policy shift to free trade and the subsequent persistence of that policy. This set provides a comprehensive collection of articles including previously unpublished material on nineteenth century British trade policy and a comprehensive introduction by the editor putting the material into context. Information.
