Economic Strategies for Mature Industrial Economies

Edited by Peter Karl Kresl

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The global economy has transformed during the last few decades. Though the changes have benefited some, many mature industrial economies have not been treated well by the changes they have seen and have been forced to adapt to dramatically altered circumstances. In this collection of original papers, economists and geographers from Asia, North America and Europe examine the policy initiatives that have succeeded in their countries.
