Book Description

Publication Date: September 11, 1998

The end of the Cold War, Europe's single currency, Asia's financial crisis, the rise of China, new global trade agreements, massive daily flows of capital-all of these variables and more signal an unprecedented pace of change in the global economy. Globalization has emerged as the hallmark of the 1990s, challenging U.S. investors and corporations to grasp and understand the powerful forces at work outside the United States. This thorough, readable guide presents the 101 key demographic, financial, and economic characteristics of the global economy. It provides a taut introduction for understanding the key trends of the global economy and is essential reading for anyone engaged in international business and finance. It is an excellent sourcebook and reference, incorporating subjects ranging from America's position in global trade and investment to the rise of the global "MTV generation." Conveniently organized into two-page spreads that discuss and then illustrate predominant global trends, 101 Trends Every Investor Should Know About the Global Economy is a much-needed guide to the world economy. Joseph P. Quinlan, a Senior International Economist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, lectures on international business and global investing at New York University. Kathryn L. Stevens, a graduate of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, is an international economist based in New York. "Interesting and informative . . . essential to success in international business and for individual investors. The authors take what could be cumbersome subject matter and make it stimulating and easy to digest:" -- R. Scott Shively, Vice President, International Marketing Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc. "Provides 20/20 vision on key issues and trends to cut through all the information fog media commentators and economists alike talk about." --Harry Martin, Chief Information Officer Herman Miller, Inc. "A timely, comprehensive, and prescient audit of the global economy. Politicians, business executives, analysts, teachers, and students will appreciate both the facts and the interpretation thereof." -- William E. Dodge, President Marvin & Palmer Associates "We're all involved in the global economy, but few of us can explain its intricate workings. Here finally is the indispensable book for those involved in the worldwide marketplace. In a straightforward, easy-to-read, and understandable style, Quinlan and Stevens clarify complex issues and put a human aspect on economic concepts. A great reference book you'll want to keep handy." -- Sally Heinemann, Editorial Director Bridge News

Kenneth A. Rubin - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Trends Every Investor Should Know About The Global Economy (Paperback)

This book will open your mind to various aspects of the global economy. Any serious investor would be doing him/herself a great favor by picking up this book...it is written in a very organized manner wherein coverage of each topic is short, concise, and each has it's own accompanying graphs/charts/statistics page. A perfect reference.

This review is from: 101 Trends Every Investor Should Know About The Global Economy (Paperback)

By the time this book was written all facts were real and the book worth the price; however many things had happen since then and now most of the conclusions and tips offered by the author are pretty much useless. Consider this, the book must be in sale at a much lower price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Global Primer, August 22, 2004

Skeeterkat (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Trends Every Investor Should Know About The Global Economy (Paperback)

An excellent source of information regarding trading fundamentals in global markets, especially for beginning FOREX traders. The information provided in the text enables the reader to grasp the main subjects of investment and world trade in a simplified manner. The only short coming is that the information regarding global economic statistics is dated to pre-1997 and it would be great if the authors provided an updated edition
