"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
