Cohen & DeLong, The End of Influence (2010)

Stephen S. Cohen and J. Bradford DeLong.
The End of Influence: What Happens When Other Countries Have the Money.
New York: Basic Books (Perseus Books Group), 2010.

Book information: Publisher; Google Books; Amazon.com; Amazon.com, paperback; Book Info at DeLong's blog.

A footnote on page 2 states: "Notes and references to this book are to be found online at www.cohen-delong-influence.com." The last time I checked, the website at www.cohen-delong-influence.com does not work. This illustrates the obvious failure of separating notes and references from the physical book, a very unfortunate practice recently adopted by some book publishers. Fortunately one of the authors (DeLong) is currently an active blogger and has provided the notes and references at his own blog: Back Matter. Notes in reverse page order are HERE. What will become of this 50 years from now?
