Trade ReviewD. Clayton Brown has produced a book that is a must-read for every person interested in the nature of the international world community in which we all now live. The globalization process since 1945 has changed the world forever. There is no turning back. Brown's great contribution lies in his masterful synthesis of much of the relevant literature that reminds us of the beneifts and pitfalls of globalization and—most importantly—the imponderables of the future. -- Kenneth E. Hendrickson, Midwestern State University
Professor Brown has written a first-rate survey of American economic policy after the Second World War. It will be 'must-reading' for anyone interested in the twenty-first century's global economy. -- Diane B. Kunz, author of Butter and Guns: America's Cold War Economic Diplomacy
In this lucid and concise volume, D. Clayton Brown ably explains many of the international forces that have placed the United States at the center of our increasingly integrated world. A good choice for undergraduate classes. -- Oscar J. Martinez, University of Arizona
This brief volume provides an excellent introduction to a defining economic trend of the last half of the 20th century. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
