	A world transformed, by Ignacio Ramonet
		The "big bang" of the world’s stock exchanges, and the deregulation brought in during the 1980s by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, created the conditions for the economic globalisation which has been the principal dynamic of the final years of the twentieth century, and which no country can any longer escape.
		The world’s societies have lost their bearings and are desperately searching for meanings and models, because these three major areas of change are all occurring at the same time, with the result that the shock effect is intensified.
		This transformation of the world has taken place without the ordinary man in the street realising it, and even without the politicians really understanding it.

		And, indeed, I found in tracking trends in levels of freedom in the world as measured by Freedom House that the Middle East is the only region of the world, and specifically again the Arab States, where average levels of freedom have actually diminished over the last thirty years.
		The remaining authoritarian regimes of the world remain authoritarian not because their people want dictatorship in principle but because narrow, corrupt, self-serving, entrenched political elites are served by that dictatorship and by the preservation and concentration of power that that dictatorship entails.
		The world economy is evolving with a speed and a logic and intensity that nobody fully understands in terms of the implications for employment, justice, distribution and social security.

		It was his idea not only of the citizen's relationship to the nation but of the US's obligation to the world.
		In his speech of November 18 at the Banqueting Hall (avoiding an appearance before parliament, where backbenchers might make rude noises), Bush freely displayed his erudition, citing Shaftesbury and Wilberforce, Tyndale and Wesley, to cast himself as a liberal idealist and internationalist in the tradition of Woodrow Wilson.
		As Blair rightly insists, the US is the world's most powerful democracy and sets an example for the rest of the west: the rise of the welfare state in Britain followed the New Deal; Labour's resurgence of the mid-60s followed the New Frontier and the Great Society.

	Uncommon Grounds : The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World by Basic Books
		Obviously the real world is not so fl and white, but I think the same principle applies to everything we buy.
		However, Prendergast almost entirely ignores the rest of the world (while repeatedly remarking how Europeans drink more coffee than Americans) and writes, instead a literature review of coffee industry publications, going into tedious detail of the advertising wars between coffee companies in the late 19th and early 20th century.
		If you are looking for a book which considers the 'world' as 95% America and chapters full of quotes from fin de siecle coffee advertisements, you've found the right one.

		Of course, to compare the world situation as it was in 1991 to the way it is in 2004 as a means of judging what should've been done (or not done) today seems rather short-sighted and ignores both recent history and the benefit of learning from mistakes.

		Despite far from universal agreement on what to do, in the end not only did the Arab League vote to join the coalition to evict Saddam, an extraordinary number of other countries joined the coalition forces or provided significant financial aid.
		Finally, much of the success in international affairs the first Bush presidency enjoyed was due to the remarkable degree of coherence and unity displayed by the president’s foreign policy team.
