Between Prescription and Practice

International Finance, edited by R N Cooper ; Penguin Books, Hir- mondworth, Middlesex, England ; 1969 ; pp 384 ; 9 s.
THE Penguin Modern Economics series of readings provides, in a compressed form, essential developments in a particular branch of economics and, though addressed to 'university students', it is no short-cut guide for examination purposes. It is rather a book, fox the specialist whose theoretical background has turned somewhat rusty by years spen in the field of applied economics.
