Praise for Bound Together

“Given the avalanche of books on globalization it is reasonable to assume that

for now the subject has been exhausted. This assumption crumbles after one

reads Nayan Chanda’s masterful analysis and discovers that this gifted writer

has added a new and important layer to our understanding of why and how

we are all ‘Bound Together.’ A must read.”

“ Bound Together is destined to be a classic book for the twenty-ﬁrst century.

Author Nayan Chanda has combined deep and far-ranging scholarship with

a journalist’s touch for storytelling to craft an enthralling narrative of hu-

mankind from our birth in Africa to our addiction to the Internet. Chanda is

a true global citizen. His book should be read in every home, school, busi-

ness, and embassy in the world, and become a vital part of our common in-

tellectual heritage.”

“Chanda’s account of globalization is a breath of fresh air. His treatment of the

topic, from its origins with the ﬁrst humans out of Africa to its most recent

appearance in ﬁnancial markets, is comprehensive, informed, and judicious.

Refreshingly personal and humorous, it is probably the best single-volume

work on world/global history now available, and a must for all students of the

subject. Along the way, India, for example, becomes as much a focus as Eu-

rope in the overall story.”

“It is, in my view, a wonderful read—incredibly informative, insightful, and

written with energy, eloquence, and simplicity. The themes are fresh and the

organization especially interesting. Some of the great strengths of the book

are the way he relates history to the present, the global perspective through-

out, the broader-than-economics focus, and the way he describes the overlap

of forces that have led to the world we now live in. My guess is that this book

will be widely read and have a special place on any bookshelf that contains

works on globalization.”
