• About
• Table of Contents

Real World Globalization is an essential guide to rapidly changing trends in global trade, investment, labor relations, and economic development. Its 74 articles provide jargon-free introductions to trade and financial institutions, work in the global economy, international debt, and global environmental, health, and resource issues.

An extensive chapter on economic development critically analyzes neoliberal strategies in countries from Mexico to China, and features a debate on the significance of rich nations' agricultural subsidies.

The ninth edition is thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded—with over 40 new articles! It again includes chapters on the political economy of war and imperialism, and on alternatives to neoliberalism. A new tenth chapter compiles Nick Thorkelson's "Comic Strips of Neoliberalism."

"As textbooks become more conservative and less topical, I find that Dollars & Sense readers are more useful than ever in my undergraduate classes. They are jargon-free, up-to-date, and inexpensive, as well as consistently and thoughtfully progressive. I recommend them highly."
—Robin Hahnel, American University

"The articles provide students with access to current economic issues, along with a progressive framework. The writing is always good. Students always find them to-the-point, and learn a lot from them."
—Bill Ganley, State University of New York at Buffalo

"Real World Globalization is an indispensable tool for understanding the social impacts of the new global economy, both domestically and internationally, and is written in a language and style that's accessible yet without compromise of rigor or principle.
—Gerald Sussman, Portland State University
