  • A stimulating, comprehensive and well-structured course on the past, present and future of globalisation. Will be helpful for anyone keen to understand the historical drivers behind 21st century economic models, as well as people interested in trade, innovation, new technologies etc. Professor Baldwin is one of the world's top experts on these issues, so great to be able to access his content.
