“Professor Howard-Hassmann’s answer to her own question—‘can globalization promote human rights?’—is that it can if we make it do so, but that to make it do so we must first understand the economics of globalization in a sophisticated way that values markets without fixating on them as neoliberals do. Then we must make informed choices about the world we want to see and the values we want it to embody. Masterly in its use of evidence, careful and balanced in argument, this book is essential reading for anyone who is suspicious of the too-easy moral rectitude of some of globalization’s ‘radical’ critics, but who still prioritizes human rights in all circumstances and wants the rest of the world to do so, too.”

—Gavin Kitching, University of New South Wales
