Runaway World ([2nd ed.])

'There are good reasons to believe that we are living through a major period of historical transition.

The changes affecting us aren't confined to any one area of the globe but stretch almost everywhere.' From the Introduction This book, completely updated with a new chapter for this new edition, is about global change and its impact on every aspect of our lives - and people's lives in very different parts of the world.

The changes are broadly positive, liberating women, spreading democracy and creating new wealth.
