Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters was one of those books that really made me stop, think and question the existing story about economics.

What I likes most is how human it feeling. Instead of pretending globalization is simply “good” or “bad,” the authors shows the different people's perspective on their experience it depending on where they stand. Some people win big through global trade, while others get left behind, lose jobs, or feel their communities become more fragile. That tension immediately reminded me of Open Money— freedom and opportunity to the people, but disruption and threat to elites.

Reading it through a Freedom lens, it helps explain why fair money matters globally. In places where the current system has clearly picked winners and losers, Bitcoin starts to make more sense as the reality that is open to anyone, anywhere. The book doesn’t talk about Bitcoin directly, but it gives powerful context for why people everywhere are searching for more open, neutral, permissionless and unconfiscatable systems.
