I do not discount the views of the three books on
globalization in this coming week’s
New York Review of Books.
Globalization and Its Enemies, How We Compete: What Companies Around the World Are Doing to Make It in Today's Global Economy and
End of the Line: the Rise and Coming Fall of the Global Corporation might be summed up (very basically) by the idea that
global forces do not affect everyday people, who tend to think local and more inward. Yet I do not believe an insular, closed
society—which is not what these books advocate—is a way forward. However, a healthy level in questioning globalization’s tenets, as I do here, can only benefit those
greater issues facing us: creating
dialogue, turning rivals into neighbours, creating
world peace and human
happiness. Till you get the books, the
review is a well thought out piece.
