Description: "The Structural Foundations of International Finance examines the ways in which national economies, especially those of industrialized countries, are affected by the operations of international financial markets. Although these markets provide productive funding, there is also much speculative trading in stocks and currencies which can cause booms, slumps and hinder recovery. The authors advocate entrepreneurial coordination by productive enterprises for balanced and stable growth, with reduced risks of financial crises and recessions." "This topical and highly engaging book will be invaluable for academics and students of business, economics, political economy, international relations and law."--Jacket.
Notes: Based on a conference sponsored by Saint Mary's University, Halifax, in May 2000.
