From the rear cover

"An excellent idea. This is the kind of book that many students of international political economy, who often feel uncomfortable with the more technical aspects of the subject, will want to consult."--Andrew Walter, London School of Economics and Political Science

"The Princeton Encyclopedia of the World Economy has a good scope--not too much to be overwhelming but broad enough to cover important topics."--Douglas Irwin, Dartmouth College
