Topics covered include the shift from Command Economy to Market Economy in the former communist bloc; the American era of Fordism and the Dollar; the shift to Flexible Specialization/Production and its impact on laborers today; and the new space-economy dominated by strategic alliances, sourcing, free trade zones and trading blocs.
