Editorial Reviews

As communication and business cross national boundaries as never before, global politics are increasingly driven by global economics, and the power of free markets and new technologies are transforming people's lives the world over. But the aggressive reach of global capitalism has created new tensions and uncertainties. Who will be the winners and losers in the New World Order? Will the popular advances of this most turbulent century be swept away in the next? Can the world's new democracies and "people power" survive?

In Fast Forward, the people remember: the end of the Cold War, arms reduction, global economy, foreign competition, rise of nationalism, reopening of Shanghai Stock Market, civil war in Bosnia, Los Angeles riots (1992), gated communities, computers and the Internet.
