Tyler Cowen, "Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures"
P-ton U///ty Press | ISBN: 0691117837 | 2004 | PDF | 192 pages | 3,93 mb

A Frenchman rents a Hollywood movie. A Thai schoolgirl mimics Madonna. Saddam Hussein chooses Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as the theme song for his fifty-fourth birthday. It is a commonplace that globalization is subverting local culture. But is it helping as much as it hurts? In this strikingly original treatment of a fiercely debated issue, Tyler Cowen makes a bold new case for a more sympathetic understanding of cross-cultural trade.
