Just finished reading "Bound Together' by Nayan Chanda, which is about the history of globalisation. Nayan has done extensive research on the subject, and come up with wonderful nuggets of information, which are virtually eye-openers. Why, for instance, that globalisation has been with us since the beginning of humanity some 60,000 years ago, when the first ancestors walked out of present day Ethiopia in Africa. Savour this, succession of traders, preachers, warriors, adventurers have roamed the earth in myriad ways, creating conditions for humans to live in the present day with all its conflicts, wars, SARS, cyberattacks, WTO etc. The fact that all humanity originated from Africa and from a same mother is mind boggling to say the least. Absolutely absorbing book this.
