A major study of international political economy examining how political power and economic forces interact in the world system. Robert Gilpin considers trade, finance, monetary relations, multinational corporations and the role of states in shaping the international economy.

Written during a period of major change in the postwar economic order, the book explores the tension between markets and state power, the changing position of the United States, the rise of Japan and Western Europe, and the political foundations required for international economic cooperation.
