PRAISE FOR globalization"A creative and original work from one of this country's greatest minds.

He dispels myths and provides an insightful guide for governments and businesses that need to know how to cope with globalization." -JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001"Absolutely the smartest book on globalization yet. No ideological ax-grinding, fact-freeassertion, or mindless extrapolation. Just brilliant insights, compelling predictions, plain speaking, and an unrivalled command of data and business behavior. Globalization confirms Bruce Greenwald's iconic status as a corporate strategy guru who understands how the global economy really works and can explain it to the rest of us." -SYLVIA NASAR, author of A Beautiful Mind"Guess what? The world isn't flat, the sky isn't falling, and we can't blame our economic woes on globalization. In Globalization, Bruce Greenwald and Judd Kahn explode the myths that have polarized the globalization debate and address the provocative questions that urgently need to be confronted." -JAMES B. STEWART, author of Den of Thieves, and Bloomberg Professor of Business and Financial Journalism, Columbia University"This book is not only a provocative contemplation of the global economy and its future. It is a vehicle for rich insights and original observations on the world economy from the dawn of the modern age to the tumultuous present-most of them, astonishingly, unpublished until now and all delivered in one punchy style." -EDMUND PHELPS, Director, Center on Capitalism and Society, Columbia University, and winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economic ScienceGreenwald, Bruce C.
