On the down slope
I was writing this dreadful post about how i think i'm halfway done with college and ready to be an adult, but i got sick of it and decided to post my course books for this semester which look like fun. An annotated bibliography to max's homework.
In my unraveling globalization course:
Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures
Globaloney: Unraveling the Rhetoric of Globalization
One World: Ethics of a World Community
The Travels of the T-Shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade
I think this should be an interesting course. I'm excited to hear some more pro-globalization arguments from the professor. His books seem to allude to him leading in a neo-liberal direction. Hes the head of the department so i'm pretty excited for the reading. The rest of the books for the course seem kind-of sleepy though. Nothing really piqued my interest.
My history of economic thought course is all classical theorist writings of economist like smith, marx, marshall, hyak, ricardo but nothing very interesting...lots of primary resources.
In a history of science class, the readings look rediculous. I'm excited for what should be a very random semester.
Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth
Fire: A Brief History
Finding Order in Nature. The Naturalist Tradition from Linnaeus to E.O.Wilson.
and Eistein 1905. The Standard of Greatness.
Illicit global economy is going to be an interesting course also. The books all look soft on the eyes at least, quick reads.
I'm reading Drug Wars and Coffeehouses, Illicit, Blood Diamonds, and Shadows of War: Violence and Profiteering in the Twenty-First Century.
I am hopeful for this semester
peace, priest, church, tabbernacle
