Item Number: 100031

Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1992.

First edition of this work on currency by the Nobel Prize-winning economist. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, “To William Paul Krugman.” Fine in a near fine dust jacket with some toning to the spine.

This collection of essays revolves around Krugman's work on international monetary economics from the late 1970s to the present in an effort to make sense of a turbulent period that "involved one surprise after another, most of them unpleasant." "The papers included in this collection reveal the breadth of Krugman's work in international monetary economics. . . . [This] is a book that anyone interested in international monetary economics can refer to repeatedly in the course of his or her career. As such, it ought not to gather dust on any bookshelf" (Andreas Savides, The Journal of Economics).
