One World, Ready or Not

A quick and interesting read on books on globalization. I like the reviewer, Franklin Foer, and have read his How Soccer Explains The World. He's a good, fun writer who makes interesting connections to very serious issues. I like, too, the general approach of this book, which is to debunk the platitudes and easy rhetoric that tends to dominate both academic and journalistic headlines these days, or what I call the bumper-sticker thought. Save Us, Not the Whales.
