Synopsis

Introduction to International Economics by Dominick Salvatore offers a clear presentation of today′s global economy while explaining the workings of the world economy, the major benefits it provides to both people and nations, and the most serious challenges it faces. The text is filled with more than 85 current and relevant case studies and business examples, represented in every chapter. By using real–world data, Salvatore makes international economics applicable to all.
