`This book is interesting and important beyond its modest size. . . it provides a useful overview of, and context for, Thirlwall's important contributions to the macroeconomics of economic growth and the role that the balance of payments plays in this process. . . Thirlwall's core lessons will leave the reader with a solid foundation for understanding the entrenched macroeconomic problems of our emerging world order.' -- Robert E. Prasch, Review of Political Economy `The book is an important addition to the current literature on balance-of-payments and exchange-rate policy in developing countries. It offers a view that is different from the standard approach and forces us to reconsider the conventional wisdom. Thirlwall builds on his rich past research and puts out a short and readable book that is very much needed not only in the classroom but also in the offices of policymakers and international institutions.' -- Mohammed Akacem, The Journal of Energy and Development
