OverviewIt is generally assumed that current deficits are intrinsically bad and in need of correction. This work argues that this is not always the case. The author analyzes a broad range of issues in support of this argument. These include: approaches to current account balances; short run issues; longer run issues; and policy. The book can be read as an integrated whole, or alternatively, each chapter can be consulted without reference to the others.
