Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of international economics, the author explains why the ""gotcha"" examples of the critics are often not as they seem, and that in fact globalization often alleviates many of the problems for which it has been blamed. He describes how globalization helps the cause of women around the world.
