At the global crossroads

the long version

"The Sylvia Ostry Foundation was established in April 1991 by several of Sylvia Ostry's friends and admirers with the objective of sponsoring a major annual or biennial lecture in Canada on the global economic or financial system. At the Global Crossroads is a collection of the first six lectures given to date." "The book explores the many facets of a world economy. This collection ranges from discussions of the global economic challenges of the twenty-first century to the particular economic opportunities for Canada and Latin America; from recession in the global economy to humanitarian aid for people displaced by conflict within their own country."--BOOK JACKET.
