Books for Review
I have review copies of the following books. If you'd like to review one or more of them
for The Review of Political Economy, please e-mail me privately at [log in to unmask]
As usual, if I don't know you, please say a few words about your background and your
qualifications for reviewing the book or books you're requesting. It's usually a good
idea to list a few books in case your first choice isn't available. I'll wait about a
week to sort through competing requests and then get back to you. If you want to review
several books jointly in a single review, let me know; I'm also open to proposals for
review articles. I look forward to hearing from many of you.
