Reviews

Ten papers explore the essence, causes, effects, continuity, and possible mitigating factors of economic vulnerability in very different circumstances and cultures. The contributors describe the coping mechanisms of Italian entrepreneurs in the volatile construction industry, the impact of fair trade on the response of Mexican coffee growers to the coffee rust problem, shifts in Mongolian herds for cashmere production, and the use of desert kites to kill gazelles.--Annotation (c)2019 (protoview.com)
