He served as president of the Economic History Association (2023–24). He has served on the staff of the President's Council of Economic Advisers in the 1980s and later worked in the International Finance Division at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He was named one of Foreign Policy's 100 Global Thinkers of 2019 and the Financial Times has called him 'one of the world's foremost trade scholars'. He is the author of Clashing over Commerce: A History of US Trade Policy (University of Chicago Press, 2017), which The Economist and Foreign Affairs selected as one of their Best Books of the Year.'At a time when globalization is under threat everywhere, a clear and simple analysis of the effects of international trade and finance - who gains, who loses, what risks are created and reduced, and what policies are best on balance - grounded in good theory, and supported by data relevant to today's world, is essential. Chinn and Irwin provide that in this outstanding new textbook. I wish it was required reading for the general public, not just for classroom use.' Avinash Dixit, Princeton University
'Two outstanding international economists have brought us a first-rate new textbook. Written very clearly, it will be highly accessible to the typical student. It is chock-full of historical examples, as recent as the effect of Russia's war in Ukraine on global wheat prices. The historical cases introduce each chapter and then illustrate the theory afterwards.' Jeffrey Frankel, Harvard University
'Definitive but also accessible. Economic theory is brought alive with a combination of practical applications, historical examples, and real-world applications. Students are sure to be engaged.' Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley
