From the reviews:<br />"International public goods or national public goods contributed by one country or another have risen in international importance and official attention in the last two decades of the 20th century. The subject is of great interest and importance, and most unlikely to go away."<br /><em>(Charles Kindleberger, Ford Professor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute</em> <em>of Technology)</em> <br />"Public goods contribute to general welfare but will be undersupplied without collective action - a well-known proposition that applies globally as well as nationally. This book thoughtfully and usefully identifies a range of international public goods and explores the possibilities and prospects for increasing their supply." <br />(<em>Richard N. Cooper, Boas Professor of International Economics, Harvard</em> <em>University)</em>
