Bücher von Jagdish N. Bhagwati

The first volume contains several classic papers, including the many contributions to the theory of distortions in the 1960s, which laid the foundations of the postwar theory of commercial policy.

The second volume presents essays that have opened up new areas of analysis in the theory of international trade and in the associated fields of public finance and developmental economics.

Presents insights from developments in commercial policy theory to show how the pursuit of social and environmental agendas can be creatively reconciled with the pursuit of free trade. This book argues that free trade, by raising living standards, can serve these agendas far better than can a descent into trade sanctions and restrictions.

Professor Bhagwati's most important theoretical writings on international economics through 1969.
