About this title

Review

'This is a luckily written book for readers in developed countries (especially in the United States) who are trying to make up their minds about various arguments they encounter in the present debate on globalization ... The result is a well-argued and succinct book for any reader who would like to get a quick briefing on the subject ... The message is, however, delivered in a very effective way.' Journal of Economic Literature

'The writing is clear, and the arguments readily accessible to non-specialists ...' Progress in Development Studies

'The book is a well-written, succinct analysis of the prospects and problems of globalization ... this is a balanced treatment of the subject that is highly accessible ... this is essential reading for those concerned about global justice.' Journal of Peace Research

Book Description

This book presents a new viewpoint on economic globalization. The author argues that opponents fail to see that broadly-based benefits for the poor are latent in the process. Defenders have insufficiently acknowledged that globalization creates innocent victims who should be the object of ameliorative policies.
