An eye-opening, twenty-first century guide to the myths and realities of the international economy.
This fully updated and expanded second edition of The Field Guide to the Global Economy presents the latest facts to help make sense of the rapidly changing international economy. Illustrated throughout with charts, graphs, and cartoons, the book documents new trends, including the foreign "outsourcing" of US service jobs, as well as the increasing influence of mega-firms like Wal-Mart and labor union-free China on workers around the globe.
Published in conjunction with the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent research institute based in Washington, DC, this accessible guide explains how global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and North American Free Trade Agreement affect communities, workers, the poor, and the environment. The book dispels the widely disseminated propaganda about current globalization policies and provides an update on the burgeoning movement that is challenging them, from Bolivian water warriors to US student anti-sweatshop activists.
