"Refreshing . . . The future of globalization may be
determined less by a rarified battle of ideas than by something as
simple as the 3D printer. Finbarr Livesey's book gives a nod to the
idea that protectionist politicians are a threat to world trade,
but his focus is very largely on the impersonal progress of
technology . . . [He offers] detailed descriptions of
individual products and processes he has gleaned through his years
of consulting for international companies."
—Alan Beattie, Financial Times
"The great strength of Livesey’s book is to make us look more
closely and intelligently at the underlying drivers of
globalization. Whether more or less of it, there will surely be a
different kind of globalization in the coming years. Livesey’s fine
book will help us understand and anticipate the changing dynamics
of global economic interdependence."
—Finance & Development
