Böcker av Jeffrey G. Williamson

This monograph examines the political economy of immigration backlash and immigration policy in two global centuries.

This book is an economist's attempt to interpret a critical period of US history, from Civil War to World War I. It blends traditional historical analysis with general equilibrium theory, modern macroeconomics and simulation analysis. The result is a provocative book of remarkable scope which offers a fresh interpretation of late nineteenth-century American growth.
