• About
• Table of Contents

In these times of rapidly changing trends in global trade, investment, labor relations, and economic development, Real World Globalization is an essential guide. Its 60 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 Nepal to Brazil, and features a debate on the significance of rich nations’ agricultural subsidies.

The tenth edition is thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded, with over 30 new articles. It again includes a chapter on war and imperialism, and adds a chapter on global aspects of economic crisis.

“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
