  • Why Globalization Works Martin Wolf New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 2004, 398 Pp
    Why Globalization Works Martin Wolf New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 2004, 398 pp. Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator at the Financial Times, is a brilliant journalist and an able economist. Why Globalization Works is an excellent example of the author’s capacity for examination and analy- sis. The book is based on a series of articles on globalization that origi- nally appeared in the FT, and on his Hayek Memorial Lecture to the Institute of Economic Affairs in London. Wolf presents a detailed reply to the main arguments proffered by the forces opposed to globalization, and demonstrates conclusively its advan- tages—historically, and both in theory and in practice—over all alterna- tive systems. He presents a splendid survey of the literature about this topic. He holds not only that globalization works, but also that it is needed if we are to aspire to extend prosperity and freedom to the whole planet. His presentation is sophisticated, complete, and comes out roundly in favor of globalization. It is the best analysis of the subject yet: a passionate voyage across one of the most vital aspects of cultural, social, political, and economic life at the start of the 21st century. Wolf is convinced that the market is undeniably the most powerful vehicle ever to exist for raising living standards. From this premise, he analyzes the debacle of the collectivist experiments of the 20th century— nationalism, communism, fascism—and their profound negative effect on the wealth and freedom of nations. In the same way, he testifies to the demise of light collectivism, which was based on the preachings of 379 CATO JOURNAL Keynes and was practiced in many states from the end of the Second World War until the crises of the mid-1970s.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

  • Open PDF ... BBC-The-Shock-Martin
    THIS TRANSCRIPT IS ISSUED ON THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS TAKEN FROM A RECORDED PROGRAMME AS IT WAS BROADCAST. NEITHER THE BBC NOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAMME CAN GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. THE SHOCK Presenter: Martin Wolf TRANSMISSION: Monday 14 November at 2000 on BBC RADIO 4 OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT: And now on BBC Radio Four, Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator of the Financial Times presents the first in a two part series, New Global Economics. Since the start of the financial crisis the world now faces economic and political uncertainty, the repercussions of which may be far more profound then most people can imagine. Martin Wolf presents part one of New Global Economics - The Shock. WOLF: The financial and economic crises of the Western world are now more than four years old. They became evident in August 2007; came to a head in the autumn of 2008, after the failure of Lehman Brothers; and have now become most obvious in the Eurozone whose crisis rages unabated. This, it is clear, is no passing event, but an enduring upheaval: financial distress, economic weakness and high unemployment continue. Now concern has shifted to worries about the bankruptcy of governments, not just of banks. None of the afflicted economies has recovered strongly despite extraordinary efforts by policymakers. Was 2007 the high water mark for the move towards free market capitalism launched by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s? Have the shocks permanently diminished the position of the West in the world economy relative to the rising East? One point is clear: the world has changed in fundamental ways.

  • A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read
    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in. They help the reader obtain something not included in the typical three-year tour of the law school classroom—a sense of the context of our practice. Although the typical law school curriculum places an appropriately heavy emphasis on theory and doctrine, the importance of a solid grounding in context should not be underestimated. The best business lawyers provide not only legal analysis and deal execution. We offer wisdom and counsel. When we cast ourselves in the role of technocrats, as Ronald Gilson would have us do, we allow our advice to be defined downward and ultimately commoditized.1 Yet the best of us strive to be much more than legal engineers, and our advice much more than a mere commodity. When we master context, we rise to the level of counselors—purveyors of judgment, caution and insight. The question, then, for young attorneys or those who lack experience in a particular field is how best to attain the prudence and judgment that are the promise of our profession. For some, insight is gained through youthful immersion in a family business or other enterprise or experience.
