""What a fantastic tapestry of wordsmithing and storytelling! It left me with a much better understanding of how the world was woven so tightly by globalization, all through the dramatic stories of fascinating cultures and characters that are relevant to this day.""--Paul Tudor Jones, Chief Investment Officer of Tudor Investment Corporation ""Merry-Go-Round Broke Down depicts the key socio-economic developments of the last quarter-century. It brings to life the people who put them into effect, as well as those who were affected by them. Few were untouched.""--Howard Marks, the co-founder and co-CEO of Oaktree Capital and international best-selling author of The Most Important Thing ""You might think that it would be impossible to write a novel that helps the reader put her arms around the complex issues raised by globalization. Yet, David Woo and Margalit Shinar have done precisely this. The result is most engaging and insightful. It is also one that even globalization experts such as myself can profit from.""--Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor of economics and law at Columbia University, author of In Defense of Globalization
