Look back at the global economy in 1950 and you'll find these conditions: The shock of a great depression, two world wars, and restrictions on immigration had led to little economic interconnectedness between countries.
These are just some of the many dramatic changes that are underway as globalization—the process of the world's diverse countries coming together and sharing experiences, events, and trade—continues to be a force in our economic climate.

The Night Circus
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
