About the book

The book explores the tensions of the post-Cold-War globalising world. The author shows how free markets have concentrated disproportionate, often spectacular wealth in the hands of resented ethnic minorities, market-dominant minorities. She also shows how individual countries may also be viewed as market-dominant minorities, a fact that may help to explain the rising tide of anti-American sentiment around the world and the visceral hatred of Americans expressed in acts of terrorism. With index.
