Title: Disappointing Book
Review: Globalization is a phenomenon that is fast replacing the cold war and to understand world dynamics, one should have a solid understanding of the various economic forces in action.With a basic idea of economic I picked up this book and was totally disappointed. The focus is very narrow and pertains to some selected countries. The analysis is very limited and does not consider the social backgrounds of the countries in question, when they are developing nations.The question of globalization should be treated with a balance Anyone who touts only the good side of an idea should be looked down with skepticism. Globalization is not the silver bullet. The authors back away from their responsiblity in educating the readers about the downside of this phenomena.In summary, a one sided view of the world, lacks breadth and would not contribute much to your understanding.A better book would be "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" by Thomas L Friedman.
