People Before Profit
The New Globalization in an Age of Terror, Big Money, and Economic Crisis
Charles Derber; With a New Foreword by Noam Chomsky
Picador
"The 'basic principle' of this ambitious study is the task of 'reinventing globalization' by 'reinventing democracy.' Interweaving personal experiences around the world with careful analysis of global economic, political, and cultural trends, Derber makes a powerful case for the urgency of this task, and outlines constructive approaches to pursuing it successfully. A provocative and stimulating work, directed to issues of the highest significance."—

Take This Job and Ship It
How Corporate Greed and Brain-Dead Politics Are Selling Out America
Senator Byron L. Dorgan
St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books
"A serious and important book, written by someone who knows as much about the practical workings of the international economy, and the way American legislation and politics shape that economy, as anyone alive. There is nothing slapdash or egotistical about this book . . . You cannot read the book without feeling delight in this resurgence of North Dakota's populist heritage. Even those who disagree with Dorgan's point of view should be glad we have a senator who seeks to create a national dialogue about an issue so essential to American life."—

The World Is Flat 3.0
A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
Thomas L. Friedman
Picador
Updated and Expanded Edition
"
The World Is Flat
continues the franchise Friedman has made for himself as a great explicator of and cheerleader for globalization, building upon his 1999
The Lexus and the Olive Tree
. Like its predecessor, this book showcases Friedman's gift for lucid dissections of abstruse economic phenomena, his teacher's head, his preacher's heart, his genius for trend-spotting . . . [This book] also shares some of the earlier volume's excitement (mirroring Rajesh Rao's) and hesitations about whether we're still living in an era dominated by old-fashioned states or in a postmodern, globalized era where states matter far less and the principal engine of change is a leveled playing field for international trade."—

Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0
Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
Thomas L. Friedman
Picador
"When the Soviet Union chucked Sputnik into space in 1957, it galvanized America to come from behind and win the space race. The federal government opened its checkbook to finance an array of projects. Students shifted to new subjects like astronautical engineering and Russian studies to help the United States understand and eclipse the Soviet Union. The moon shot inspired a patriotic nation and produced useful commercial technologies along the way. The space race was expensive, but it worked. Thomas L. Friedman’s latest book is a plea for a new Sputnik moment. His breezy tour of America’s energy policy documents a nation that has become dangerously dependent on fossil fuels . . . Mr. Friedman’s voice is compelling and will be widely heard . . . Mr. Friedman’s strength is his diagnosis of our energy and environmental nightmares . . . The most intriguing chapter in Mr. Friedman’s book is his last, which poses the toughest challenge. Can America be like China, where a visionary government can impose a new direction on the country in the face of national emergency? Or will America devolve into a country that is so mired in red tape and local opposition that it builds absolutely nothing anywhere, near anything? Societies like that get stuck because they can’t embrace new technologies, like the cherished wind turbines and the power lines needed to carry their current . . . Heads will be nodding across airport lounges, as readers absorb Mr. Friedman’s common sense about how America and the world are dangerously addicted to cheap fossil fuels while we recklessly use the atmosphere as a dumping ground for carbon dioxide. The Sputnik is heading into orbit, thanks to high energy prices, growing fear of the changing climate and pleas like Mr. Friedman’s. But whether we as a nation—and with us, the world—are really prepared to do anything to solve the problem is still in doubt."—

As China Goes, So Goes the World
How Chinese Consumers Are Transforming Everything
Karl Gerth
Hill and Wang
"Gerth author of
China Made: Consumer Culture and the Creation of the Nation
, does much to redress the imbalance and to point out the potential influence of Chinese consumerism, not only on China but on the rest of the world. The book is both informative and entertaining. Although supported by input from published sources, the text is largely the result of insightful observations of the author, who lived, studied, and traveled extensively in China. The book draws parallels between expanding consumerism in China and corresponding developments in other countries such as the US. However, Gerth is careful in identifying unique aspects of China's embrace of domestic consumption. The book contains extensive source notes, readings, and Web sites for further investigation. The writing style is reader friendly and can be appreciated by a broad spectrum of readers who have even a passing interest in understanding the growing importance of China as a world power. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels."—
