Class meets Tuesday and Thursday 4:40 PM-5:55 PM in 306 Allen
Building.
This course is titled “Special Topics in International Trade and Economic
Development.” I think of it as “Neat New Books in International Trade and Economic
Development. In the course we read and comment on line and in class on one book
each week. All but Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations are recent. I like to close the
course with Adam Smith and ask whether we have learned anything since Smith
wrote. In addition to reading and commenting, each student is required to write a
book review for publication in a scholarly journal or on Amazon of a book of his or
her choice. Some years about half of the students did publish their review in a
scholarly journal. I strongly encourage students to discuss their book with the author
and with an alumni reviewer. The vast majority of authors have enthusiastically
worked with their student reviewers and their alumni reviewer. If you go to the Duke
Journal of Economics web site on the Econ Dept. web site you can find the list of
books they reviewed and journals they published in.
There is lots of reading in this course. Each student is asked to write an essay on one
chapter of the book or an essay on the whole book and email it to all the students
prior to the class when we discuss that chapter. No more than one page please. This
forces you to focus on what is important.
1
This semester’s readings are eclectic, covering a number of different areas. That is
intentional. I tried to find a set of books that give worthwhile insights into economics
and are written in novel ways.
Class attendance is required. Part of the grade will depend on it. If you cannot make a
class, it is important that you let me know in advance. My major goal in the course is
for you to develop writing skills, write an excellent book review, and to exhibit
professionalism by finding a suitable place to publish it in a timely fashion. I realize
that some students will be luckier than others in finding a responsible editor who
responds to queries promptly and either promptly accepts or rejects your work. A
prompt rejection is a good thing for it allows you to find another outlet while your
book is still new. So the grade does not depend on whether you find a place to
publish your review. Rather it depends on the quality of your product, your
correspondence with your author and alumni reader and your book review editor(s).
I do not assign grades to your short essays. However, emailing them on time saying
something interesting in them, and coming to class with something interesting to say
is important. I will comment briefly on your essays. The book review counts 75
percent of the grade and the combination of short essays and class presence and
class discussion counts 25 percent of the grade. In class discussion, the important
thing is to help make the class worthwhile for your classmates. One year a student
broke down in tears, because she said her English was not good enough to say
anything in class. If you are uncomfortable talking in class, you can always send an
email afterwards. In your reviews I want you to seriously criticize the book you
review.

Th8 Introduction
Tu13. Your assignment for today is to read a book or a bunch of speeches by John
Bogle, founder of the Vanguard company and father of indexing. The library has a
bunch of books by Bogle. Most of you will want to look at John Bogle’s speeches.
These are on the web site of the Bogle Financial Markets Research Center at
Vanguard. Here is the link:
http://www.vanguard.com/bogle_site/bogle_home.html
There is also a nice interview with Bogle on Russ roberts’s Ecotalk web page.
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2007/04/bogle_on_invest.html
8
Please write a single page of your reaction to the readings (or in the case of Ecottalk
the listening). And please email it to the class before midnight on Monday January
12. Prior to most classes I will ask you to email your essays to the class.
I will not formally grade these essays. You may find that bullet points are more
convenient than paragraph form. How you organize these essays is up to you. I want
you to write from the heart—not to please me. The easiest way to write these things
is to have your computer on and write down your thoughts as they occur to you.
These essays are to serve as the basis of class discussion. I also find that I never
remember anything I read unless I write down my reactions at the time. As part of
your essay I would like you to write down one question for Mr. Bogle, when we meet
him by skype on January 16.
Also, please email me the title of the book you are going to review for the course.
Mr. Nik Sparks from the writing studio visits at 5:10pm.
Friday 16. We will not meet on Thursday, January 15. Instead, on Friday, January 16,
we will have a skype conversation with John Bogle in room 130 of the Social
Psychology building. That is also known as the Zener Auditorium. This will be open to
members of the university. I hope you will sit in the front. It will make Mr. Bogle
feel appreciated.
Tu13
Friday 16. Noon Book list of five possible titles for review due. Essay due on what
makes a good book review and what makes a bad one with examples from the

manual. You can find the writing manual at
http://lupus.econ.duke.edu/ecoteach/undergrad/manual.pdf . Discussion from
administrator of the Alumni reader project and the writing studio.
The McCloskey book is short, only 98 pages long. So one class period should be
enough. I reread McCloskey every year and learn a lot from her. Book list of five
possible titles for review due. You might look at Amazon and at publisher’s web
pages. Please email me a list of the books you are thinking about and briefly why.
This will speed up discussion. Pick a book you think you will like. When you send
your review to the author it is nice to be able to tell him or her that you like the
book. It is also fun to review a book you really hate. Then you can show how you
understand economics much better than the author. Please email me your
9
thoughts about the book (one page max), before noon on Tuesday at the very
latest. These can be things you think are particularly interesting, or wrong, or
related thoughts that you have.

The United Nations office in Bangkok (The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the
Pacific) has a book review web site. Mia Mikic coordinates it. I taught with Mia at the University
of Auckland, and she generously arranged for me to teach in Croatia with her at the University
of Zagreb when she was chair of the Econ Dept there. Now she is organizing the book review
web site at Artnet (the training arm of ESCAP). A year ago, she was looking for quality reviews of
the books listed below. The link immediately below is to the review that Allison Jaros wrote of
Doug Irwin's book on the Hawley-Smoot tariff and is posted on this website. This is your chance
to improve policy making in Asia and the Pacific by transmitting important ideas to policy
makers there.
