<br/><br/> Jonathan Sperber guides readers through six decades of global history, from the end of World War Two to the onset of the new millenium. As Sperber's immersive and propulsive book reveals, the defining quality of these decades involved the rising and unstoppable flow of people, goods, capital, and ideas across boundaries, continents and oceans, creating prosperity in some parts of the world, destitution in others, increasing a sense of collective responsibility while also reinforcing nationalism and xenophobia. It was an age of transformation in every realm of human existence: from relations with nature to relations between nations, superpowers to emerging states; from the forms of production to the foundations of religious faith. These changes took on an unprecedentedly global scale. The world both developed and contracted. Most of all, it became interconnected.
