Giddens shows how the globalization of science, technology, and the economy impacts every person on earth. He includes an overview of the New World global marketplace, but goes beyond a conventional economic perspective to look at such larger issues as marriage, gender, and the family. Giddens finds the changes largely positive--liberating women, spreading democracy, and creating new wealth--but acknowledges there are potential hazards as well with so much money crossing so many borders and distant cultures colliding. . . . Giddens on globalization. |
