A timely primer indeed for those who seek to understand this fundamentally important dimension of how the economy works and its impacts on communities and citizens. -- Tom Riddell, emeritus, Smith College\u003cbr\u003eThis innovative and ambitious book analyses ideas usually taught in separate courses on trade, international finance, economic development, and multinational production, and embeds them in an integrated theory of the processes and outcomes of economic globalization. It also develops policy recommendations for governments who seek an economically sustainable and equitable globalization process. The book presents its ideas in language that is easily understood by most college students. I highly recommend it. -- James Crotty, emeritus, University of Massachusetts–Amherst\u003cbr\u003eFranko and Stamos have written an outstanding introduction to the economics of globalization, one that combines a lucid presentation of the key facts and theories with an unusual sensitivity to the interconnectedness of modern economic life.
