"The twenty-first century is replete with uncertainty and complexity: game-changing
events and trends are transforming the world beyond recognition. For the first time
in human history more people live in cities than in the countryside and greater numbers
suffer from obesity than from hunger. Emerging economies now represent half of the
global economy and during the next few decades India will be the biggest country in
terms of population, China the largest in output and the United States the richest
among the major economies on a per capita income basis. Food and water shortages will
likely become humankind's most important challenge. In this accessible introduction,
Mauro Guillen and Emilio Ontiveros deploy the tools of economics, sociology and political
science to provide an analytical perspective on both the problems and opportunities
facing business in the modern world"
