"This multidimensional historical-sociological analysis of
globalization offers an enjoyable read. I liked this book very much
... Spybey offers a sweeping yet careful analysis. Unlike many
works on globalization, this contribution is rich in empirical
substantiation. Throughout, Spybey writes in an engaging and
refreshingly unpretentious manner ... it will help students develop
an acute sense of their lives as reflexive global agents. This
reviewer, too, was left with a satisfying sense of having learned
something." International Affairs
"This book will be welcomed by those who are sympathetic to the idea of globalization but have found most accounts of it excessively stucturalist and abstract." British Journal of Sociology
