International Economics in Today’s World. Understanding international economics has never been more important. Due to the current economic crisis, several leading countries have launched ambitious spending and tax policies in order to moderate the economic effects. International Economics takes this into consideration and covers current global developments in depth and in a way that is understandable to students just beginning their economic study. Accessible to Majors or Non-majors alike. This text is not mathematically overpowering, increasing its accessibility to a wider range of students..
