Why Globalization Works by Martin Wolf - 4/5
I read this book last year. It is an elightening overview of the issues that surround globalization and the consequences of liberal economies and democracies. The concepts are interesting with Wolf arguing that the world now is not as globalized as the late 19th century world. He gave a talk at Yale Unviversity on the issue. I have embedded the speech below which outlines some of the themes in the book. My review is @ Why Globalization Works - Wolf
The speech is pretty good and well worth the watch. At 84 minutes though it is long so its good to listen to at work. Unless you really want to see his slides. It is interesting to note that the Professor who introduces Wolf says that Wolf's book on the topic is the best book that has been written on the topic to date and has even made it required reading for one of his courses. I viewed it more as a laymans introduction to the topic. I know students will be able to benefit greatly from it, especially those who wish to move into a career in macro-economics.
Would love to know your thoughts. Comment is free.
Buy from Amazon @ Why Globalization Works (Yale Nota Bene)
