Book excerpt: The ineffectiveness of real devaluation as stabilization policy does not imply that the nominal exchange rate should be held constant in the face of a domestic inflation. In this circumstance, import duties and export subsidies would have to be escalated to counter the potential erosion of the trade balance. This escalation of trade barriers generates a rising black market premium and offers increasing incentives to smuggling, already a pervasive problem in the African countries. As a consequence, the central bank would find it more and more difficult to hold the nominal exchange rate constant. This leads us to consider a passive exchange rate policy of stabilizing the exchange rate by moving the nominal rate in line with domestic inflation. If such passive policy is not accompanied by the elimination of trade barriers, however, the black market premium will not disappear. Unless exchange rate policy and trade policy are consistent with each other, the smuggler's blues will reach the central bank. Indeed, this is not just a theoretical possibility, it is the major lesson from the recent experience of Sudan.

Book excerpt: Goodfellas meets Savages meets Catch Me If You Can in this true tale of high-stakes smuggling from pot’s outlaw years. Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish. With cameos by Whitey Bulger and Norman Mailer, Smuggler’s Blues tells Stratton’s adventure while centering on his last years as he travels from New York to Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley to source and smuggle high-grade hash in the midst of civil war, from the Caribbean to the backwoods of Maine, and from the Chelsea Hotel to the Plaza as his fortunes rise and fall. All the while he is being pursued by his nemesis, a philosophical DEA agent who respects him for his good business practices. A true-crime story that reads like fiction, Smuggler’s Blues is a psychedelic road trip through international drug smuggling, the hippie underground, and the war on weed. As Big Marijuana emerges, it brings to vivid life an important chapter in pot’s cultural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, a tribute by a group of distinguished economists to the scholarly achievements of Carlos Diaz-Alejandro, examines five areas to which he made important contributions. These economists have been close associates whose own research has been much influenced by his capacity to stimulate and innovate in a variety of subjects. Section 1, on International Trade, reflects his concern with the limits of orthodox analysis, and the need to consider an imperfect world. Section 2 treats an area in which he made early and important contributions, Foreign Investment. The papers provide simple models that have strong policy implications. The contributors to the third section agree on the gravity of the Debt Crisis, and the inability of even strong policy performance by the debtor countries to avert it. Section 4 deals with stabilization and macro-economic policies in the Latin American context. The papers are unified by the need for non-orthodox policies to cope with non-orthodox situations, a conclusion that Carlos regularly reached. The last section, on Economic History, contains a range of papers that give testimony to the breadth of Carlos' interests in this field.
