He argues that economic policies and trade agreements should be designed to promote the interests of all nations involved, rather than just the interests of the most powerful nations. He also advocates for the use of international organizations to regulate trade and prevent exploitation of developing nations by more powerful nations.Overall, International Trade: An Application of Economic Theory is an important contribution to the field of international economics and continues to be relevant today. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles of international trade and their impact on economic development and social welfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
