In his new book, Dispatches From The Front Lines Of The Globalization Debate, William Greider travels the globe to meet with people who are directly affected by globalization. He provides a nuanced and balanced perspective on the issue, exploring both the benefits and the challenges of globalization.

Greider begins his journey in China, where he meets with factory workers who are struggling to make ends meet. He then travels to Africa, where he meets with farmers who are being forced to sell their land to foreign corporations. He also visits the United States, where he meets with workers who have lost their jobs due to globalization.

Greider's book is a powerful indictment of the way that globalization has been implemented. He argues that globalization has led to increased inequality, poverty, and environmental degradation. He also argues that globalization has undermined democracy and national sovereignty.

However, Greider does not simply condemn globalization. He also acknowledges the benefits of globalization, such as increased trade and economic growth. He argues that globalization can be a positive force, but only if it is implemented in a way that is fair and equitable.

Dispatches From The Front Lines Of The Globalization Debate is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex and often controversial issue of globalization. Greider provides a nuanced and balanced perspective on the issue, exploring both the benefits and the challenges of globalization. His book is a powerful indictment of the way that globalization has been implemented, but it also offers hope for a more just and equitable globalized world.
