James D. Wright is an author, educator, and the Provost’s Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology at the University of Central Florida. He has written twenty-eight books and research monographs, most recently Lost Souls: Manners and Morals in Contemporary American Society (Routledge, 2018), and more than 300 journal articles, book chapters, essays, reviews, and polemics.

The Global Enterprise is a truly global book that opens our horizons to what the world of good social sciences has got to offer. It is comprehensive, issue- and evidence-based, and concise. A book of this nature cannot be easily written, except by someone of Professor Wright’s superb calibre and vast editorial experience. I am most impressed by his masterly command of social scientific issues throughout the world and his straightforward language and witty writing that enable many larger lessons well learnt by any reader! Highly recommended.Henry Yeung, Distinguished Professor, National University of Singapore
