A FUTURE PERFECT The Challenge and Hidden Promise of Globalization

Each chapter of this treatise on globalization examines a different facet, from the effect of the Internet on small business to the mass marketing of pornography on videotape. The authors are financial journalists of renown, and they are optimistic, pointing out that the predictions of disaster from consolidation (for example, NAFTA and the Euro) have not materialized as markets realized that the economic revolution made the "whole pie get bigger." Eric Conger makes the text easy to follow by adding just enough inflection to express interest without creating an overdose of enthusiasm. Listeners will not be disappointed by a lack of substance in this audiobook. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
