globalization: there is too much real uncertainty about the issue,
and anyway there are too many people firmly committed to their
views to be shaken by any argument or evidence. But perhaps Mr. De
la Dehesa's excellent book can lower the temperature and give
us all a better sense of what this new global economy is really all
about." Paul Krugman, from the Foreword to Winners and Losers in
Globalization
"Guillermo Dehesa has written a splendid book that
provides fresh and important perspectives. Read and enjoy."
Jagdish Bhagwati, author of In Defense of
Globalization
"Globalization is a subject that stirs uncommonly strong
emotions [and] those who try to make sense of it are often
challenged on their credentials. But once in a while you get
someone like Guillermo de la Dehesa - that is, someone whose
knowledge and experience crosses the usual boundaries, who cannot
be impeached on the usual grounds. In other words, he is someone
whose motives you can trust, and whose breadth of knowledge and
experience are rare in this or any other area." Paul
Krugman, from the Foreword to Winners and Losers in
Globalization
