This suggests that even while minivan sales are sagging with the economy, the company...
...countries are guilty of self interest, no doubt. Emerging markets have responded to an uneven playing field with their own brand of “economic nationalism.” Indeed, Harvard economics professor Ken Rogoff notes that India’s comparatively “stringent restrictions on international capital flows” saved it from the brunt of the recession. The point is that state intervention and national interests have been complicated through globalization, not erased...
