"Real World Globalization is an essential guide to rapidly changing trends in global trade, investment, labor relations, and economic development. Its 74 articles provide jargon-free introductions to trade and financial institutions, work in the global economy, international debt, and global environmental, health, and resource issues. An extensive chapter on economic development critically analyzes neoliberal strategies in countries from Mexico to China, and features a debate on the significance of rich nations' agricultural subsidies. The ninth edition is thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded-with over 40 new articles! It again includes chapters on the political economy of war and imperialism, and on alternatives to neoliberalism. A new tenth chapter compiles Nick Thorkelson's 'Comic Strips of Neoliberalism. The engaging articles in Real World Globalization are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the bimonthly magazine of popular economics '"--Jacket.
