Economists in the US and Europe (several are affiliated with the Institute) are the contributors to this volume of 13 articles on the impact of the current value of the dollar on world economies, its relative valuation, and the possible benefits of its depreciation. Individual papers discuss these issues in terms of the American car industry, the European Union, the economies of Japan and China, and American trade politics. Earlier versions of the papers were presented at a conference held in September 2002. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
