World Economic Outlook April 1986

The 1986 World Economic Outlook is an accessible and authoritative guide to the world economy. An invaluable supplementary book for courses in international economics and trade, this year's edition discusses the current state of the global economy, short- and long-term prospects for change, and an array of issues that affect international trade and payments now and in the future. Beginning with a broad assessment of the outlook for the world economy to 1991, the book's five sections then examine prospects for growth in industrial and developing countries, policy interactions in industrial nations, and policy issues and prospects for tackling the debt situation facing developing countries. Extensive supplementary notes cover such important topics as oil, fiscal and monetary developments in the industrial countries, commodities, and economic development in Eastern Europe and the U.S.S.R.
