This book brilliantly brings together a who's who of mid 90's thinkers and activists who have dedicated their lives to studying the history of and current trends related to globalization and the marketplace. The book is broken into logical sections and within each there are accessible essays (of just the right length) which provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what effectively works out to a master class on globalization and what is meant by the phrase 'race to the bottom'. Unfortunately this book came out nearly 30 years ago and it gives me no satisfaction to write this review in 2022 and say that the contributors were all correct when they predicted where we would end up if we continued down the path we were on at the time.

This book is still incredibly relevant today and the last section about solutions still offers prescient ideas and action items that can make a difference.

I attended and worked the launch party weekend during which there were panels by many of the writers and this book changed my life or perhaps I should say it clarified and focused me onto the path I took to get here.
