Abstract
The world has undergone dramatic changes since the end of the 1970s. This book uses a broad brush to trace the economic transformation, in its political context, that has occurred in the three areas into which the globe is often divided for economic purposes: industrial countries, former centrally-planned economies now in transition, and developing countries. Actually, one of the significant changes has been a blurring of those very distinctions.
