Preface
I believe the best way to motivate students to learn a subject is to demonstrate how
it is used in practice. The first sixteen editions of International Economics reflected
this belief and were written to provide a serious presentation of international economic theory with an emphasis on current applications. Adopters of these editions
strongly supported the integration of economic theory with current events.
The seventeenth edition has been revised with an eye toward improving this
presentation and updating the applications as well as including the latest theoretical
developments. Like its predecessors, this edition is intended for use in a one-quarter
or one-semester course for students having no more background than principles of
economics. This book’s strengths are its clarity, organization, and applications that
demonstrate the usefulness of theory to students. The revised and updated material
in this edition emphasizes current applications of economic theory and incorporates recent theoretical and policy developments in international trade and finance.
Here are some examples.
International Economics Themes

economics:

Organizational Framework: Exploring Further
Sections
Although instructors generally agree on the basic content of the international economics course, opinions vary widely about what arrangement of material is appropriate. This book is structured to provide considerable organizational flexibility.
The topic of international trade relations is presented before international monetary relations, but the order can be reversed by instructors choosing to start with
monetary theory. Instructors can begin with Chapters 10–15 and conclude with
Chapters 2–9. Those who do not wish to cover all the material in the book can
easily omit all or parts of Chapters 6–9 and Chapters 14–15 without loss of
continuity.
The seventeenth edition streamlines its presentation of theory to provide greater
flexibility for instructors. This edition uses online Exploring Further sections to discuss more advanced topics. By locating the Exploring Further sections within

About the Author xxi
About the Author
When students take my economics courses at Central Washington University, on
the first day of class I ask them to stand up, go around the classroom, and meet all
of the other ­students in the class. I feel that we are a community of learners and
that getting to know each other is very important. So allow me to tell you a little
about myself and how I became the author of International Economics.
I was born in the year that the famous British economist, John Maynard Keynes
died (you can look it up if you wish). I proudly remind my fellow economists that
this allows me to be the successor of Keynes, and that since that time all great ideas
come from me. ­However, I can’t figure out why they are not impressed with my
conclusion—to me, it seems obvious. But it should be noted that I was born without
much hair, and I maintain this characteristic even today.
Growing up in Spokane, Washington, I came from a family of Mom & Dad
and five brothers and sisters. We lived in a modest three-bedroom house with
one bathroom and bunk beds for the kids. It was at this time that I first learned
about productivity in terms of not tying up the bathroom. Also, I enthusiastically
played baseball from little-league through high school. I was a pitcher who threw
a fastball (it wasn’t that fast), a roundhouse curveball, and a change-up. Being
able to hit for a high percentage, I played left field while not pitching. I also
played club hockey, competed in local golf tournaments, and eventually got into
running 10K races.
As for music, 1950s rock was fun. Looking back in life, I wish that I had learned
to play a saxophone so I could have played in a Fifties rock band. However, the folk
music of the late 1950s and 1960s had the biggest musical influence on my life, and
it still does. Without musical background, my friends and I bought cheap guitars
and we learned how to play folk songs while listening to 33 1/3 LPs (not CDs) by
groups such as the Kingston Trio, Brothers Four, and New Christy Minstrels. One
of my friends became the banjo player with the Brothers Four which still makes
CDs and plays at concerts worldwide.
By the time I went to Gonzaga University, I was becoming quite serious about
my education, and I enjoyed being challenged by my professors and fellow students. To help finance my college education, I worked at many part-time jobs: I
