World 3.0

Narrator Sean Pratt adopts an appropriately deliberate pace as he delivers economist Pankaj Ghemawat's premise that people around the world will suffer economic fallout in one way or another if the processes of globalization reverse in favor of protectionism. He offers plenty of statistics and examples to bolster his argument that the local rather than the global still predominates. While Pratt's slow pace aids the listening in digesting this dense book, he tends to lapse into a monotonous tone that makes for a laborious listen at times. S.E.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
