As the authors quote, “globalization once vended as an aspiration and promise for better lives for one and all has been plagued with its failure to cope with global issues of poverty, unemployment, inequality, climate concerns and financial instability.” Simply put, this book is a must read with an amazing linguistic, historical, theoretical, and practical content.
