Description
A masterful analysis that will redefine the workings of the global economy for years to come.
Nation states are dinosaurs waiting to die. Kenichi Ohmae, world-renowned business strategist, argues that not only have they lost their ability to control exchange rates and protect their currencies, but they no longer generate real economic activity. While governments cling to jingoistic celebrations of nationhood,within their borders a revolution has been born.
