CONNECTED 24 Hours in the Global Economy

Delivering insights on what's happening in the global economy, Alan Sklar reveals why he's so often tapped to narrate complex works of nonfiction. His deft phrasing and ability to modulate vocal intensity keep his pleasing voice well matched to the energy in these ideas. The author uses stories and quotes from business giants and intelligentsia to illustrate his observations on such global issues as credit markets, intellectual property, and trade and ecology. Sklar is eloquent in describing how corporations and governments collude and act like schoolyard bullies in the Wild West of international commerce. A critically important audio for anyone in international business, this is a deftly constructed balance of impressive information and cutting-edge thinking on global economics.
