Outside the Box - Good book on understanding globalization

 

A book on international trade and globalization is not supposed to be interesting reading, but Outside the Box: How Globalization Changed from Moving Stuff to Spreading Ideas by Marc Levinson is an enjoyable book filled with details to truly understand how the world had transformed through trade over the last century. This not a dry thought piece on trade. It filled with stories about container ship, the trafficking of good around the world and details on the consequences of trade policies that have changed the world. If you are at all interested in the question of trade, then this is a good place to start.
