August ebook of the Month

Competition and Development: The Power of Competitive Markets is the August e-book of the Month. This electronic book is available with unlimited access during the month of August.

The growth of international trade and investment and the spread of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements have resulted in increasing economic integration, affecting almost all nations of the world.

This book demonstrates the importance of true and fair competition to sustainable development and an effective marketplace, touching on issues of globalization, consumer welfare, cartels and monopolies, and trade liberalization. It focuses on the practical problems faced in developing countries and the steps that have been and can be taken to overcome those problems. It is also about anticompetitive practices as they occur in developing countries and the policies that governments and citizens can promote and practice to limit the impact of such practices.
