Economic Problems of the 1990*s: Europe, the Developing Countries and the United States

This book brings together an important body of new essays on key economic problems and challenges of the 1990s. The essays provide new perspectives on key issues including economic development, East Europe, 1992, the US trade deficit, protectionism, the unification of Germany, privatization and many other topical issues.

The papers included in the volume were presented at a conference organized by Paul Davidson and Jan Kregel and organized around three basic areas: problems of economic development, debt and the international payments system; integration and reconstruction of Western and Eastern Europe; and problems facing the US economy. The contributors represent an international group of distinguished economists.

Economic Problems of the 1990s is an essential reference point for all economists concerned with economic problems and prospects in the late 20th century. It provides readers with an understanding of the problems facing the international economy and with innovative suggestions for solutions.

Edited by the late Paul Davidson, formerly Holly Chair of Excellence Emeritus, University of Tennessee, US and Founding Editor of the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics and Jan A. Kregel, Professor of Political Economy, University of Bologna, Italy
