The best on globalization
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book, which is a compilation of articles from The Economist, is one of the most insightful texts on the mechanics of globalization.The book is written in the refreshing style of The Economist: concise, factually precise, and opinionated. First, it makes the liberal case for globalization, tracing the benefits of international exchange and competition to the classical economists; and it supports that case with logic and numbers. Then, one by one, it discusses equity markets, tax policies, global businesses, inequality, aid, the environment, technology and international finance. In the process, this book puts together an impressive collection of facts: it asks the question "what are people saying about globalization" and then evaluates perceptions and prescriptions against data from think-tanks and academics.This balance between theory and fact makes the book appealing. Globalization could not have a more articulate advocate than The Economist, and this book includes the best articles that have appeared in the magazine; if one had to read only one book on globalization, this should be it.
