Stability, Freedom, Individuality in an age of Globalization

David R. Francis

About this Herald feature...

A lot is being said these days about the global economy — and the concept of globalization. There are positive and not-so-positive thoughts regarding this issue, and there's a great deal of discussion as to where globalization might ultimately lead. In this special feature, we'll explore the issue.

We'll begin with an introduction by David Francis, Senior Economics Correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor. Then we'll hear from some 35 people our staff has talked with about this issue worldwide. And we'll conclude with a roundtable discussion by the Herald Managing Editors, looking at globalization from a spiritual standpoint.
