Globalization - Opportunities and Implications (Electronic book text)

In this day and age, we need globalization to substantially increase the world's quality of life, particularly for those several billion human beings who need it most. Fortunately, there is monumental room for improvement.

With his vast experience in the subject, author Martin Marmolejo shows how today's global mind-set can become an ideal opportunity to raise ambitions, improve local attitudes, and adapt to new realities as long as the attitude is a positive one. In this ambitious work, Marmolejo covers the principal aspects of globalization by tackling several topics from a multi disciplinary angle-historical, geopolitical, economic, financial, philosophical, strategic, and social.

Strand by strand, Marmolejo unravels a series of myths and unfounded fears about globalization and covers the main variables that influence the success or failure of this global economic integration. He delves into countries around the world and analyzes each society's main characteristics with its inseparable economic implications. In addition, Marmolejo addresses fundamental reflections on economic topics, with particular emphasis on the business cycle.

Comprehensive and meticulously researched, "Globalization: Opportunities and Implications" is a timely addition to the important, ongoing discussion of this controversial topic.
