Reviews

"A slightly eccentric, but very enjoyable, account of globalization."
Australian Journal of Political Science

"We might wonder whether anything new remains to be said on globalization. Reading Rudiger Safranski's account of the issue, it becomes immediately obvious, maybe surprisingly, that the answer can be highly affirmative."
Peter Wagner, European University Institute and University of Warwick
