Originally published in 1981, this comprehensive book offers a thorough and insightful examination of the recent history and current status of the primary economic institutions that significantly impact international trade and relations. The authors place great emphasis on assessing the economic efficiency or otherwise of these bodies, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Economic Community (EEC), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the World Bank. However, they also acknowledge the political dimensions that shape these institutions, both in their initial design and subsequent evolution.

In particular, the book delves into the shifting dynamics of dominance exhibited by the United States within the international community. It explores how the USA has exerted varying levels of influence and power on global affairs, both economically and politically. The authors examine the changing nature of international trade agreements, the role of international financial institutions, and the impact of economic policies on different regions and countries.

Through their comprehensive analysis, the authors shed light on the complex interplay between economics, politics, and international relations. They offer valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by nations in the global economy, and provide recommendations for promoting sustainable and equitable development. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of international trade and relations.
