Small States in World Markets: Industrial Policy in Europe (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

One of the things I was not very interested in during my BSc Political Science, was political economy. But, at the start of my MSc Political Science, we had to read this book and I must say it was a bit of a turn around. The book tries to provide an explanation for the economic policies of the "small states" in Europe (and their succes) and does this in such an interesting way that I started to get interested more in political economy.According to my professor, this book is a classic in the field of Political Science, so I think he would say this is a must read.
