At the global crossroads

de Institute for Research on Public Policy, Peter White

"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.
