New Book Published by Professor Madar

Big Steel examines the integrated steel industry's position in the global economy. The industry is subject to unstable prices, and current technology enables newly industrializing countries to be competitive exporters. The blockbuster merger in 2006 of the world's two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, and the foreign acquisition of all three of Canada's steelmakers, are part of a trend toward global consolidation. The book analyzes the causes and implications of these developments. http://ubcpress.com/search/title_book.asp?BookID=299172754
