I haven't had a chance to read this book. But I'm sure it will be great and informative. If you haven't already read it, I recommend his earlier publication, "The Political Economy of International Relations."

Gilpin is well regarded on amazon reviews and stacked up on the shelves next to Baghwati, Irwin, and Porter. Lots of overlapping.

I was having a hard time deciding which one to start with. I grab what I think is relevant to the knowledge target.

Generally everything is relevant.
