«Un mundo desbocado» is Anthony Giddens's essay on globalisation, published by Taurus in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyses globalisation and its effects beyond the economy: they reach daily life and transform institutions such as the family, tradition or democracy, as well as our perception of risk. Giddens warns that it can destabilise countries and that society is not prepared for accelerated capitalism and the Americanisation of culture.
First edition published in April 2000. Translation by Pedro Cifuentes Huertas. Subtitle: «Los efectos de la globalización en nuestras vidas».
Readers of sociology, politics, economics and international relations will find an analysis of globalisation and its social and institutional consequences.
