The World Trade Crisis - What Really Did Go Wrong?: the Economic Reasons Behind It All Lakmin Wickramasuriya

The late 2008 and 2009 World Trade Collapse has had many observers particularly Economists mystified. It was believed that very few of the traditional economic approaches could be used to understand the crisis and when I first began to analyse this situation very little academic literature existed though it has since increased. However, this book attempts to identify the disparate ideas and lines of thought put forth related to the crisis and evaluates it in a coherent manner. Further it tries to assess certain ideas that have not been discussed. This analysis should help shed some light on a relatively new and exciting economic environment, and should be especially useful economic students and people generally involved in economics.
