Summary |
In the past decade we reaped the benefits of unprecedented globalisation without much thought-or cost to ourselves. In Autumn 2008, this changed when the easy flow of money around the world ceased. For the first time, globalisation turned into a phenomenon that all of us have to understand.

Introduced by Sir Richard Branson, Globalisation Laid Bare asks for much-needed illumination from world experts in the West and Asia-from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan to Ecofeminist Dr Vandana Shiva. They identify the core insights that drive globalisation, and where we should look for answers and pitfalls.
