The author clearly demonstrates the relevance of past events to contemporary options for coping with economic change, and stresses the importance of the biophysical environment, even in "postindustrial" societies. The Global Economic System demonstrates the reality and significance of contemporary global economic interdependencies, and indicates that environmental and cultural/historical perspectives are crucial to understanding the evolution of national and regional economies. The book will be a key text for undergraduate students of economic geography, and will also serve the needs of courses in international affairs, global political economy, and development studies.

Global Economic System
I read this book hoping to find some insights or predictions about where the current economic mess is headed, internationally and domestically. What I got was a windy and frequently opaque description of past international and domestic financial crises, padded by a series of self-serving and egotistical, self-serving anecdotes and name-dropping taken from Mr. Smick's career as an economic consultant.
For the most part, I was unable to follow the logic in his explanations of international credit and the interplay of interest rates and rates of exchange. Perhaps they are obvious to him, but I doubt if most readers will follow them. He simply states what happened, but fails to clearly explain why.
Very disappointing; I'll have to look elsewhere for enlightenment.
