The United States in the World Economy offers the results of a conference organized by the National Bureau of Economics in 1987.

Among the topics considered are foreign competition in Latin America and the Asian Pacific Rim, Third World debts, innovations in international financial markets, changing patterns of international investment, international capital flows, and international competition in goods, services, and agriculture.
