Reviews

This is a welcome book. Rather than one more abstract treatise on economic theory, this volume clearly shows how to apply theory in order to evaluate the performance of a country. Country Analysis is a practical contribution to an exceedingly important area of understanding. Although intended for a U.S. audience, it is global in orientation, supplemented with political and cultural aspects of economic decisions. It is deserving of wide readership - Professor Paul W. Beamish, Ivey Business School, University of Western Ontario. David Currie is one of those rare economists who combines good theory with real-world experience, and it shows in this refreshing work on 'Country Analysis.' He includes vital background to properly assessing countries to invest in, including the economic and political freedom indexes. Bravo! - Dr. Mark Skousen, Editor, Forecasts & Strategies
