Refuting a number of generally held assumptions, the authors' findings indicate that Canadian industries would benefit substantially, provided that they seized the opportunities to reorganize for the large North American market.

In addition, the Fourth Edition places a greater emphasis on the international aspects of modern economies. Includes examples, applications, graphs, table, and exercises.
