Editor N. Merino has chosen a diverse collection of primary source writings to provide your readers with a broad range of viewpoints on global economic policy. Students are encouraged to see the validity of divergent opinions, so that they may understand the subject inclusively. An important question about the subject is presented in each chapter, such as "Is globalization of the world economy good for the United States?" and the viewpoints that follow are organized based on their response to the question. Looks at possible ways to address the issue, and the roles of the United States, the G-20, and the International Monetary Fund in doing so. Also examines whether or not global economics is good for the world and good for the United States.
