Include here are early writings on trade theory that extended the Ricardian and Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson theorems in a new directions, and his celebrated article on immiserizing growth. He also analyses the reasons for the growth of regionalism and the hazards it poses to free multilateral trade."--BOOK JACKET.
