"The author does a great job of explaining the systemic dynamics of globalization, the myriad consequences, and varied responses... Recommended for general readers."--Choice "A book in which a leading thinker on its subject draws together more than a decade of work warrants special attention. In this volume Jim Mittelman updates, extends and consolidates his broad-ranging and widely respected critical analysis of globalization."--Jan Aart Scholte, International Affairs "... distinguished from the overwhelming majority of recent writings on the subject by its sensitivity ... thoughtful and subtle."--John Gray, Times Literary Supplement "Provides important insights into how global market forces may be influenced by, and as a consequence, imbedded in society."--George E. Shambaugh, Political Science Quarterly "I strongly recommend this book to both specialists and general readers interested in contemporary social problems, especially in the areas of work, organization, and markets and of politics and of politics, social movements, and the state. It is highly readable and jargon-free and yet has a depth of scholarship that is impressive."--Peter Dicken, Contemporary Sociology
