Reviews

Professor Sinn offers a sweeping view of the future global economy, where states compete for capital in a race for growth. Old policies, fiscal and structural, will be revised to attract productive resources and to prevent their exit. Once more the author joins lucid exposition and analytical rigor in a splendid piece of contemporary economics. ?Richard Musgrave, Harvard University The authors of competitive interactions among and within governments and nations requires a breadth of perspective and learning not often found among today's hyperspecialists. Hans-Werner Sinn has thought long and written extensively on these matters. This book provides a concise introduction to these important issues, a compelling demonstration that economics has a lot to say about them, and a glimpse of the large analytical tasks beyond the horizon. ?David E. Wildasin, University of Kentucky
