What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Fans and foes of globalization usually agree on one thing: its inevitability. But that is a big mistake, as this fine piece of scholarship makes clear….It is an exceptionally rigorous and insightful history of globalization. Its main message - that globalization can sow the seeds of its own destruction - is salutary. It should be required reading for anyone inclined to think that economic history is bunk.” - The Economist”
