It's A Curved World After All
October 7, 2008
Yesterday's Op-Ed piece by David Brooks on our global economic instability refers to David M. Smick's new book, The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy as an "astonishingly prescient book." 
In LJ's review of it last month, Lawrence Maxted called it "first rate; highly recommended for all public and academic libraries." Smick is founding editor of The International Economy, a magazine itself described as "ahead of the curve."
While in earlier weeks, Smick's book may have appealed only to more specialized readers, libraries are likely to find interest in it increasing by the day, and doubly so with more readers seeking their books at libaries as economic worries deepen.
In short, you don't have to be David Brooks to gain value from Smick; he writes clearly for more and more of us.
