Developments of International Trade Theory

It is my pleasure to be able to publish the second enhanced edition of this book.
The first edition was published in 2001 by Kluwer Academic Publishers. Taking
advantage of this new edition, I decided to add the new Part III to the original two
parts, which is entitled as Historical Appendix and consists of two articles of mine,
“Adam Smith and Disequilibrium Economic Theory” and “Complete Specialization
in Classical Economics.” The first article was originally published in The Adam
Smith Review (2004), and the second in Economic Theory and Economic Thought
(edited by P. A. Samuelson and others (2010)). I am highly grateful to the editors of
these literatures for their permission to include these articles of mine into this book.
It is expected that readers who mastered Part I and Part II of this book can enjoy
reading these professional literature in Part III.
