Review
"No contemporary economic issue is as subject to misunderstanding, fear-mongering and polarised debate as globalization. In this superb explosition, couched in crystal-clear prose that can be grasped with ease, American academic Donald Boudreaux makes the case for a global trade in goods and services. Covers a crucial subject and deserves as wide a readership as possible." - Metro

This book, on the other hand (as another reviewer wrote), doesn't waste a word or a picture (most textbooks are cluttered) and focuses on what matters. Every word is worth reading, and if Boudreaux includes a graph it's worth 10,000 words. The students are thrilled with how short it is, at the beginning, and then they start to find the surprises and learn that many of their previous ideas are simply wrong. (This has come to be my definition of education.)
And teaching this book has re-energized me!
A must read for international business majors, economists, and future politicians.
