Global economic system
Wallace, Iain.
Global economic system - London Unwin Hyman 1990 - 303 p.
This introductory text makes a threefold contribu tion to the undergraduate literature: it treats the world economy as a whole; it provides both the historical con text of the modern world and of the philosophies that shape study of it; and it identifies the importance of the biophysical environment and the cultural/political set tings for economic activity.
Distinctive in its even-handed treatment of liberal and socialist theoretical perspectives, noting problems facing both capitalist and state-socialist economies, it also stresses the importance of cultural contexts.
The book will be a key text for undergraduate students of economic geography, and will also serve the needs of courses in international affairs, global political economy and development studies.
