Description

This text suggests that the rise of large economic regions rivalling the United States will challenge its competitive strength and ability to withstand cross-border economic turbulence - a challenge the US has not faced in more than 50 years. To meet this challenge, American business leaders need a comprehensive understanding of the existing global economic and monetary system. It is that, plus an explanation of international economic trend analysis, that Schaefer's book aims to provide. Based on key economic and financial indicators published weekly in "The Economist", Schaefer integrates a discussion of established international economic concepts with actual economic and financial data, giving readers a system to evaluate current economic indicators and anticipate future trends. An important resource for professionals and academics in international finance and investment, and for corporate management operating on a global scale.
