Features: This translation series, a six-volume illustrated economics series compiled and published by the world-renowned British Brown Reference Book Group, has been introduced, translated, and published in China by the China Financial and Economic Publishing House. The greatest feature of this series is its accessibility and comprehensibility, presented in a vivid and visually engaging manner. In this series, the author connects many seemingly trivial matters using economic concepts, covering everything from how to rationally manage your finances, making wise shopping and investment decisions, to broader topics such as the accumulation and distribution of social wealth, the operation of financial institutions, the development of national politics, and changes in the global economy. The author narrates these topics with elegant prose, making them deeply engaging and allowing readers to grasp the essence of economics. The series is divided into six volumes, with the sixth volume, Economic History, tracing the fundamental trajectory of human economic development from ancient times to the present and the evolution of economics itself. The remaining five volumes delve into various themes of economics in depth. This series of books is a popular read aimed at individuals with secondary education or higher, who are not economics majors but work in economic-related fields, particularly targeting business managers, government officials, and students. From the Monroe Doctrine, Rooseveltism, the Marshall Plan, the Bretton Woods System to the establishment of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the rise of the U.S. economy and its political influence has made it the world's largest economy, striving to dominate the global stage. However, the global economy still follows its own laws. This book, presented in a visually engaging and accessible manner, explains the basic principles and related issues of international trade and finance; briefly introduces major international economic institutions; and highlights the challenges faced by the U.S. and other economic regions amid the rise of the third world, particularly China, in the context of globalization.
