Synopsis

Expanding the powerful argument he makes with Thomas Friedman in their bestselling That Used to Be Us , Michael Mandelbaum describes the forces driving the next stage of globalization, one of expanding wealth and vast opportunity. The terrifying financial meltdown of 2008, the continuing danger faced by EuropeâÈçs common currency, and the dramatically reduced growth of China, India, and other emerging nations: These factors have called into question the future of globalization. Will it continue? And can it keep benefitting the worldâÈçs 7 billion people? In The Road to Global Prosperity , Michael Mandelbaum, one of AmericaâÈçs leading authorities on international affairs, examines the obstacles and concludes that globalization is an irreversible and positive force in the world of the twenty-first century. As technology and free markets expand and national leaders realize that their power depends on delivering prosperity to their citizens, countries will cooperate more and fight less. As more nations connect, the size of the economic pie expands. And even as immigration increases, more money crosses borders, and previously weak nations rise, individuals and societies will grow richer. Mandelbaum provides the most comprehensive understanding of globalizationâÈçs future in the wake of the economic shocks of the last five years, the most illuminating examination of the crucial political issues that will determine the future, and the most persuasive case for optimism about the world economy.

About Wonder Book

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
