<p><strong>`A treasure-house of stimulating argument and vast amounts of, mostly, well marshalled information. The market for general survey volumes, while already crowded, should surely find room for this offering.'</strong> - <em>The World Economy</em><br /><br /><strong>`The work under review scores very high marks.'</strong> - <em>The Economic Journal</em><br /><br /><strong>`The chapters are written by people who are excellently qualified and frequently well-known in their field ... The book's strengths lie in the range of contributors, the very high quality of most of the contributors and its emphasis on applied economics. For these reasons alone it is an important book, which will be invaluable both to students and to economists wishing to learn about developments in other branches of their discipline.'</strong> - <em>Economica</em><br /><br /><strong>`The essays provide in-depth coverage.'</strong> - <em>Reference and Research Book News</em></p>
