Global Macroeconomics (Galbraith)
|
|

Each time he started a new government job, Timothy Geithner hoped to find a letter from his predecessor, explaining what to do and whom to call if things fell apart. The desk drawer was always empty."

Environmental Economics (Sant'anna)
|
|
Essays on environmental economics and the political economy of inequality by André Albuquerque Sant'anna published by UFRJ (2018).
