Description:
"In the international-trade-theory Hall of Fame after Smith, Ricardo, and Mill before this century, then Taussig, Viner, Heckscher, Ohlin, Meade and Samuelson comes Jagdish Bhagwati, the hero of this Festschrift. Samuelson, in fact, calls this The Age of Bhagwati'. Teachers, colleagues, students, peers have joined to honor him and to celebrate and push ahead with his many innovative extensions of classic theory. For those who need to get up to date, here is a vital compendium."
-- Charles P. Kindleberger, Ford International Professor of Economics, MIT, Emeritus
"This volume containing some major papers, theoretical and empirical, in the area of political economy of trade policy is a fitting tribute to Jagdish Bhagwati, an international stalwart in the field."
-- Pranab Bardhan, Professor of Economics, University of California at Berkeley
"This is a superb collection of essays in honor of a great economist - Jagdish Bhagwati. Written by students and associates, these papers reveal the vast influence that Bhagwati has had on the subject of international economics."
