Book looks brand new and unread to me - 342 pg. >>> This book's investigative journalistic style, unlike so many other dry and overly theoretical polemics on globalization, made it for me. It's written by a highly acclaimed reporter for Time magazine, who, through his tales of encounters with disenchanted chinese factory workers, somali pirates and Indian I.T. workers amongst many other characters, gives the pitfalls of globalization a very human and tragic face. It's genius lies in its ability to inspire empathy for even the most vicious acts, in the recognition that many such acts are driven by desperation, not choice. By tackling contraversial issues and actually going all over the world to unroot the truths behind them, this comes across as an extraordinarily brave undertaking. Highly recommended.
