Review of Political Economy
Books for Review
Hello, all. The Review of Political Economy has received review copies of=
the following books. If you are interested in reviewing one or more of them=
for us, please get in touch with me via e-mail at [log in to unmask]
We regard book reviews as an important mechanism for the transmission of=
information in our discipline. A review should give a clear idea what the=
book is about, a sense of its relevance, and an assessment of its strengths=
and weaknesses.
As in the past, if I don't know you, please include a bit=
of information about yourself and your qualifications for reviewing the=
books you selected. I'll take a couple of weeks to sort through competing=
requests and then get back to you. It's usually a good idea to indicate=
alternate selections. Finally, you may want to visit a publisher's website=
to find out more about a book before requesting it, to be sure whether it's=
in your line. I look forward to hearing from many of you.
Many thanks in advance.
Gary Mongiovi
