Description
Book SynopsisForeign direct investment (FDI) has changed from being a one-lane country road, handling a modest flow of financial traffic to a two-way superhighway carrying huge amounts of capital into, and out of, the country. This book examines the factors that have motivated foreign firms to invest in the United States.
