The purpose of GlobalBusiness.me / .blog is to explain international business and economics trends in an unbiased manner—and in more thoughtful ways—than seen in the business press, while remaining accessible to any educated person. It contains commentary on current issues, possible future trends, and episodes in the history of globalization for thoughtful global managers, students of international business, policy makers, and educated laypeople.
