Globalisation and the Wealth of Nations

Neither an argument for nor against globalization, this book is a careful and thorough analysis of the issues of globalization and an imaginative, wide-ranging picture of the globalizing world. It aims to both inform and enable readers to improve their own decisions about how to harness globalization, the economic theory behind it, the political and social consequences, and the various options for nations in a globalized world. Case studies aid in the exploration of this largely unstoppable but governable force in the world today
