'This collection will be well worth reading for those interested in problems and consequences of closer economic integration in North America. It will add to the understanding by those in Europe of the problems of integration between large and small countries and countries with great disparities in income and wealth. The inclusion of several chapters on Mexico is particularly illuminating.'
