Proceedings from a June 2000 conference held in Knoxville, Tennessee, bringing together an international group of about 90 participants from universities, government agencies, and think tanks.

Topics include development problems in Brazil, the quest by developing nations for an export-lead growth strategy, the constraint of balance-of-payments on Mexico's long-term growth, racial/ethnic disparity and economic development, decreasing economic growth in the U. S., the problem of a lack of effective demand, and Spanish unemployment and profitability since 1980. For academics and policy-makers in economics, banking, and financial markets. Annotation c.
