Product Description
Product Description
Globalisation is one of the most powerful forces at work today, fundamentally affecting the way businesses are run and the way we lead our lives, and causing thousands to take to the streets at world summits to protest against its effects. No magazine has more authority than The Economist when it comes to providing a clear and expert view of such an important subject. This is a collection of the best surveys, special reports and briefs that have appeared in its pages on globalisation. Chapters are The globalisation of the world economy; The globalisation of business; The globalisation of financial markets; Technology and development; The environmental effects; Taxation issues; Governmental issues; Culture and globalisation; The case for globalisation
About the Author
The authors are all Economist writers and include Bill Emmott, the editor, Clive Crook, the deputy editor, and John Micklethwait, co-author of The Witch Doctors and A Future Perfect.

The best on globalization,
By
This review is from: Globalisation: Making Sense of an Integrating World (Hardcover)
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.
