This guide, written by a nationally known teacher of economics, provides a clearly explained, engagingly presented introduction to the global economy and a wealth of the most recent information, statistics, and primary materials on all aspects of the topic. Written specifically for students, the guide includes a narrative discussion defining and discussing the global economy in its historical and contemporary context; a variety of essays on a number of important aspects of the global economy; a timeline of events; a selection of important recent primary documents for critical thinking assignments and research papers; a glossary of selected terms; and a useful annotated research guide of books, films and videos, and recommended web sites.

In addition to a thorough narrative discussion of the global economy in its historical and contemporary context, O'Connor provides four essays with specific examples and many charts, tables and statistics, as well as published editorial cartoons from nationally known political cartoonist Bob Englehart of the Hartford Courant, on these topics: international trade and regional trade organizations; multinational corporations; the "have" and "have not" countries; and global challenges for the 21st century. 15 prmary documents published in the last few years offer a variety of viewpoints on the global economy, from the Economist's "Case for Globalization" to the role of NGOs, the position of labor organizations, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and the President's Economic Report for 2000--all of which will stimulate critical thinking skills. The annotated research guide provides needed print sources and web sites for further research, as well as recommended films and videos for classroom use.
