Book Synopsis
Why didn't the protectionist spiral of the 1920s reappear in the 1970s in light of similar economic and political realities? This title analyzes the growth of international economic interdependence and its effects on trade policy in the United States and France.

Trade Review
"Why have governments not erected as many trade barriers in the troubled 1970s and 1980s as they did in the 1920s and 1930s? Professor Milner of Princeton University argues that the increased internationalization of business has made many firms in many sectors of industry opponents of protectionism, and that this makes a difference to governments. Her evidence is drawn from six U.S. industries in the 1920s, six U.S. firms in the 1970s. An enormous amount of good work has gone into this valuable study, which is meticulous in its analysis and sensible in its judgments."--Foreign Affairs
