| Summary |
Is your salad drizzled with olive oil imported from Italy? What country made the car that your parents drive? Globalization connects us today more than ever before, and in ways we never expected, and populations around the world are questioning whether this is a purely beneficial circumstance or if we should take steps to scale back our interrelatedness. Globalization: Why We Care About Faraway Events delves into the nature and history of interconnected relationships between the governments, businesses, media, and industries all around the world and asks pressing questions about the future. |
