5.0 out of 5 stars
Good coverage but too many definitions in the first two chapters,
By Tony (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Geography of the World Economy (Arnold Publication) (Paperback)
This is one of the best textbooks I have seen on the growth of the world economy. It has historic depth and covers all parts of the world not just the US and Europe as do so many others. It also isn't obsessed with multinational corporations as if they were the only story about the evolution of the world economy. There are lots of interesting maps and boxes that even students who have only just graduated from the "painting by numbers" class can understand. The box on how Barbie is made and marketed is a gem. The only problem I have with the book, beyond the fact that by now some of the data are yesterday's news, is that too many definitions of key terms are crammed into the first two chapters. Put them in a glossary at the end!!! Not all students have trouble turning to the back of the book.
