About this title

Synopsis

Real World Globalization is an essential guide to rapidly-changing trends in global trade, investment, labor relations, and economic development. Its 48 articles provide jargon-free introductions to trade and financial institutions, work in the global economy, international debt, and the global environment.

An extensive chapter on economic development critically analyzes neoliberal strategies in countries from Mexico to Korea, and features a debate on the significance of rich nations� agricultural subsidies.

The eighth edition also includes a new chapter on the political economy of war and imperialism, with articles on the consequences of the U.S. military buildup for corporations, the U.S. working class, and the global environment. A final chapter, also new, examines alternatives to neoliberalism, from social democracy in Sweden, to democratic decentralization in Kerala, to factory seizures by workers in Argentina.

The readable articles in Real World Globalization are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Macro, Real World Micro, Current Economic Issues, Real World Banking, The Environment in Crisis, Introduction to Political Economy, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination.
