Rahman (a former economist with the United Nations) examines the economic policy debates in the UN as they evolved and were sometimes resolved in the central forums of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council over the past 50 years. He avoids judgments on the outcomes of those debates, preferring to simply present the ideas as they were raised and debated. He organizes the chapters thematically, with separate treatments of stability and growth in industrial economies, economic development in the non- industrial economies, food needs, poverty, international development strategies, international trade, transnational countries and developing countries, commodity problems, the external debt crisis, and the international monetary system. c.
