Textbook for students at many levels provides the fundamentals for understanding the changing international economic system. The principles of international trade and finance are highlighted by the historical context that shapes their development. The book is written in simple, nontechnical language, but it neither trivializes the international sector, as introductory textbooks usually do, nor does it mathematize the subject, which is the approach of most advanced texts.
