         The book reviewed in this essay, International Economic Policy in the 1990s, was to focus on some of the most recent concerns about international trade. Its author, William R. cline, seems to have some good insights about the topic as it seems that he researched, taught and lectured about this field of study. The author tried to be as objective as possible and tried not to be biased by referring to the different opinions about most of  the issues he handled. However, as it is really impossible to be totally unbiased, some biases were to exist due to their necessity to form an argument. Furthermore, other biases can be detected through his writings by remarking the aspects of international trade that he examined, versus those he gave very small or no weight at all.

This conclusion might have led him to have a closer look outside the US (and NAFTA) circle.

         In a chapter of his book, he was to look at the "economic future of Europe". He was to argue that an implication of the monetary union  may be less need for European countries to hold large reserves of dollars, as there will be "reserves pooling". This may lead to an excess supply of dollars, and consequently a "downward pressure" on the dollar (203). Unfortunately, this may be the case, meaning that many economies will be affected. Another notice was that the future o...
