 From The Publisher
This book presents the major articles of one of the most influential economists in the world today - Jagdish Bhagwati. This collection brings together his important, some of them hitherto inaccessible, theoretical writings on international trade, economics of brain drain, and trade in services. Include here are early writings on trade theory that extended the Ricardian and Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson theorems in a new directions, and his celebrated article on immiserizing growth. He also analyses the reasons for the growth of regionalism and the hazards it poses to free multilateral trade. The twenty-seven essays selected reflect not just the breadth of Professor Bhagwati's work, but his belief that economics is not only fun but should also have the serious purposes of influencing policy. These are the writings of one economist who has succeeded in that attempt.
