What is globalization anyway? What are spiritually-minded peopleâ
on all sides of the issueâdoing and saying about it?
The economic and cultural dynamic of globalization is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. But what exactly is it? What are its origins? What is its impact on our spiritual lives?
This lucid introduction surveys the religious landscape, explaining in clear and nonjudgmental language the beliefs that motivate spiritual leaders, activists, theologians, academics, and others involved on all sides of the issue. Included are the points-of-view of:
Bahâs  Buddhists  Earth-based and tribal religions  Hindus  Jews  Muslims  Protestants  Roman Catholics
Unlike other books on this controversial issue, this easy-to-read introduction wonât tell you what to think; it gives you the information you need to reach your own conclusions.
"As important as economics may be, it is not, as the great religions stress, the full measure of humanity. There is also connection to self, to others, to the ingrained values that have sustained cultures for generations and millennia, and to the belief in transcendence that gives it all meaning. In the end, what unnerves people most about globalizationâincluding many in the West who may fairly be said to be on the winning side (economically, that is) of the process so farâis the threat it poses to that which is most precious to a life of satisfaction: our sense of meaning."
