Mark Kesselman is not just a more than a very decent man, he is an amaaaaaaazing teacher too. He used to teach a "Political Aspects of Globalization" class at Columbia University, and dear god this was thrilling. This guy knows a lot and you can feel he really is passionate about what hes teaching - he also has humanistic points of view but tries to remain realistic and open to any idea. This anthology is VERY USEFUL to anybody interested in International Relationa and/or Economics for it pretty much sums up what you should know about globalization (from its foundations to most recent devemopments). Even if there's no doubt Kesselman is quite critical of globalization as an individual, he compiled texts that definitely support and defend it. Of course, he didnt forget to use other authors who denounce globalization and draw our attention to some pitfalls we should be aware of as well. Good job, prof!
