Insightful!
Jeffrey A. Rosenweig's scholarly study of the global economy is detailed, thought-provoking and rich in source material. Intelligently and clearly written, it is by no means light reading, and wasn't intended to be. Rosensweig covers each corner of the globe, putting such issues as population, development and economic status in perspective. He expertly guides you through complex historical and financial issues and information, and manages to connect all the dots. We at getAbstract recommend this serious book to executives, managers and other thoughtful participants who are interested in present and future global commerce. "Serious" is the approach here, no dilettantes allowed.

Incredible insight into the future of the global economy
Jeff Rosensweig's book, Winning the Global Game, easily has been the most insightful and practical book about international business and the future of the global economy that I have read in many years. Not only does he make economic theories and business strategies very digestible for people of all walks of life, but Rosensweig also writes in an entertaining style. A MUST READ FOR ANYONE SEEKING TO DO BUSINESS ABROAD, MAKING ANY DECISION WITH EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OR WISHING TO BROADEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF GLOBAL TRENDS

Unbridled Optimism vs. Reality
Time has shown the theories in this book to be flat out wrong. There is a difference between being an optimist and a realist. The optimism in this book ignores reality, implying that third-world countries can participate in the global economy without the years and dollars it will take to build crucial infrastructures, while ignoring the fact that there is competition of other more-advanced countries with the same cheap labor and less inherent risk. There is no hard-core / hard-hitting analysis, just a little number crunching, some remedial graphs, and unfounded theories. The best advice is to save your [money] and not buy this book.
