Review :
"Appropriate for general audiences as well as for classes in economic development, political economy, and North American integration, this book could also be useful for courses in international economics because it describes so many important theoretical concerns. Most appealing is the explicit attention paid to NAFTA as the first major attempt at freer trade and investment between countries at such widely different stages of development." -- Sarah Stevens, St. Lawrence University "The book provides an excellent introduction to the debate of economic integration and its benefits as a model for development. It supplies a good overview of both negative and positive reactions to NAFTA, with about a third of the contributors in favor, a third neutral, and a third against. It is an evenhanded compilation of views on the subject by academics, business, and labor." -- Gilbert R. Winham, Dalhousie University
