HB] 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.
