Summary/Abstract: The monograph is the first comprehensive study on the Polish market combining the analysis of theoretical and practical aspects of international investment flows against the background of the development of the international currency system. The period in which it was completed probably marks the beginning of the emergence of a new global financial architecture. Particular attention was devoted to the discussion on the directions of capital flows in the world economy in relation to the so-called Lucas paradox, most often defined in the context of the inadequacy of the neoclassical model to explain the direction of investment capital flow on a global scale. The aim of the monograph is to introduce the reader to the various theories, views, facts and data on international investment flows over the past two centuries. In a globalized economy, cross-border flows of financial resources constitute a significant part of the ongoing economic processes and are an important determinant of the volatility of macroeconomic parameters. This monograph, which is intended to provide knowledge and competences for the analysis and interpretation of international financial flows, is addressed to a wide audience: students, scientists, business representatives and all those interested in the subject.
