GLOBAL INSTABILITY. THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF WORLD ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE MICHIE J., SMITH J Bankowa.pl

"This is a very scholarly and well researched book.I think that its chief merits are its timing, the cogency and plausibility of its arguments, and - its delineation of an alternative to the suffocating hegemony of laissez-faire. For the last twenty years, neo-liberal arguments have won largely by default. Now at long last the ideological terrain is being contested"
Chartist Nov-Dec 1999
