Comprehensively, the strength of the book is the depth of its historical excavation and the synchronization of relevant literature on globalization. It addresses the neo-liberal notion as one of the main flaws in the widely accepted process of globalization and argues that the higher welfare across cultures and communities will result from the dissolution of the state and the continuation of markets. But this book provides very limited counter on this which need to be explained in detail. Overall, it is an interesting scholarly piece, which attempts to fill the gap that scholars have rarely attempted and offers a clarifying lens for understanding this critical and multifaceted concept. Therefore, the book is an important contribution to the study of political economy and is of interest to academic scholars and policymakers alike.
