"Professor Sinn offers a sweeping view of the future globaleconomy, where states compete for capital in a race for growth. Oldpolicies, fiscal and structural, will be revised to attractproductive resources and to prevent their exit. Once more theauthor joins lucid exposition and analytical rigor in a splendidpiece of contemporary economics." --Richard Musgrave, Harvard University "The authors of competitive interactions among and withingovernments and nations requires a breadth of perspective andlearning not often found among today's hyperspecialists.Hans-Werner Sinn has thought long and written extensively on thesematters. This book provides a concise introduction to theseimportant issues, a compelling demonstration that economics has alot to say about them, and a glimpse of the large analytical tasksbeyond the horizon." --David E.
