How to succeed at Globalization

[livejournal.com profile] exterra just got me a surprise present: How to Succeed at Globalization.

It's a comic-book history of capitalism and globalization, written by a popular Mexican political cartoonist. In spirit, it reminds me of The History Book (link points to a review of what seems to be a film adaptation), which I used to read when I was a kid, and I still have a copy of (it seems to be out of print, though).

I could never imagine seeing this from an American political cartoonist -- Toles, for example, would get blacklisted so fast...

Reading list
Ladefoged, chapters 3-5.
