Inside the Global Economy offers a practical approach to understanding economics in a readable and relevant style that will resonate with students of international economics and international business. -- Vivian Faustino-Pulliam, University of San Francisco The increasing complexity of modern economics leaves many theorists and practitioners alike scrambling to explain-often unsuccessfully-globalization's latest twists. Andrew Vonnegut's Inside the Global Economy is a healthy antidote to this confusion. Billed as 'a practical guide,' the book offers straightforward analysis of contemporary economic phenomena. In a world where instability has become the norm and Black Swans hover like vultures, his combination of theory and practice will resonate with serious students of the subject, whether they be in the classroom or boardroom. -- Riad al Khouri, director, Middle East, GeoEconomica Vonnegut gives readers an informative and easy-to-follow guide to understanding the fundamentals of how the international economy works and then addresses some of the critical economic issues that we will all need to face in the near future. -- Daniel Schydlowsky, Harvard Kennedy School
