Why Globalization Works by Martin Wolf
Yale University Press, 0300102526
"The debate on globalization has reached a level of intensity that inhibits comprehension and obscures the issues. In this book a highly distinguished international economist scrupulously explains how globalization works as a concept and how it operates in reality. Martin Wolf confronts the charges against globalization, delivers a devastating critique of each, and offers a realistic scenario for economic internationalism in the future.
Wolf begins by outlining the history of the global economy in the twentieth century and explaining the mechanics of world trade. He dissects the agenda of globalization's critics, and rebuts the arguments that it undermines sovereignty, weakens democracy, intensifies inequality, privileges the multi-national corporation, and devastates the environment. The author persuasively defends the principles of international economic integration, arguing that the biggest obstacle to global economic progress has been the failure not of the market, but of politics and government, in rich countries as well as poor. He examines the threat that terrorism poses and maps the way to a global market economy that can work for everyone."

It Lives!
Three weeks of hectic slog at work means no time for blogging. Did get time to splurg on Amazon.com and order a few of the books I had marked up here, so I suppose once that box arrives it'll keep me busy and away from the internet for a few more weeks...

To buy: The Art of Identity
Mark Rowden and identity
"Style without a deeper-rooted objective is zero substance. There are an awful lot of applauded identities that, like paper ships slipping out of port, once on open seas blow or sink who knows where. This method of rudderless navigation means wasting costly resources, and begs the question: just how big is your budget?
The Art of Identity, now published in four languages, sets a new agenda for design management. His forthcoming new edition, being published summer 2004, includes radical new methods for appraising and improving marketing strategy, focus and direction. It clearly demonstrates the correct integration of identity into the management mix, and in a manner that all CEOs will recognise as benefiting the bottom line."
