Competition and Competition Policy in Emerging Markets: International and Developmental Dimensions

In: Growth and Economic Development

Author

Listed:
  • Ajit Singh

Abstract

This valuable and engaging new book bears eloquent testimony to A.P. Thirlwall’s substantial contribution to economics over the last 40 years. The volume does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of such a prolific figure, but rather demonstrates the considerable influence that his work on economic theory has had on his contemporaries, and the profession as a whole.
