About this product

Product Information

States Versus Markets shows that globalization is not a novel phenomenon but a recurrent process whereby markets have, since the sixteenth century, periodically redistributed economic activity. This revised and updated new edition takes account of the new rise of Asia and the global financial crisis originating in the US housing finance system.

'This edition improves on an already outstanding text. What Schwartz does here is highly unusual and highly rewarding: he draws students into an adventure in learning that conveys knowledge about both the origins and evolution of a global political economy and the development of IPE as a branch of learning. And he brings it up to-date in a manner that places students at the center of important contemporary debates. If students have a choice of textbooks, this is the one.' Randall D. Germain, Carleton University, Canada 'States versus Markets has long been essential reading for those who seek to understand globalization and its periodic struggles with global imbalances and financial volatility. Professor Schwartz has now done it for the third time, and in keeping with his record this new third edition is yet better and richer than earlier excellence. Unlike more simplistic accounts, this highly approachable work offers a clear understanding of how and where 'globalization' came from and what it actually means for contemporary societies, gently debunking well-worn myths along the way. It is not only an impressive work of scholarship but also a pleasure to read, culminating in a dramatic account of financial crisis and the future of the global political economy.' Geoffrey R.D. Underhill, University of Amsterdam  , 'States Versers Markets combines an original intrepretation of the operation of the international economy with a survey of its development since the sixteenth century. Provocative and comprehensive, this is a book that signficantly deepens our understanding of the global political economy.'- Jeffrey Frieden, Harvard University   'Unlike many simplistic works on the global economy, States Verses Markets offers us a clear understanding of how and where 'Globalization' came from and what 'Globalization' actually means.  Schwartz does not hide in vague generalizations about information revolutions, the end of national states, or the natural expansion of markets.   Having gently debunked these and other myths, he offers a coherent 'bottom-up' explanation focusing on firms, financial institutions, state authorities and policies, and the dynamics of ecnomic competition in its social and political context, from factory floor to international organizations.  This welcome second edition builds - and considerably improves - on the very considerable merits of the original.  It is not only an impressive work of schlorship but also a delight to read.'- Geoffrey R D Underhill, University of Amsterdam     'Combining insights from economic geography, history and international relations, States Versus Markets makes and outstanding contribution to contemporary debates on the nature and trajectory of global capitalism.  Stimulating and iconoclastic, this fine work deserves a wide readership, both inside and outside the classroom.'- Louis W Pauly, University of Toronto  , 'This edition improves on an already outstanding text.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
