The Plaid Avenger's World: Arab Revolution Edition

A Plaid World Intro | What is globalization? How do the interconnections of the global economy and politics affect my life? Why are some places rich while others are poor? What does the future of the planet look like? All great questions, fellow world watchers -- questions that deserve great answers. Thoughtful, intuitive and well-researched answers contained in a well-ordered and glibly constructed textbook. This is not that book. Welcome to my world. The world of the Plaid Avenger, where seeking knowledge of our planet is imperative, where blissful ignorance is not accepted, and where truth and justice can only be achieved by those willing to learn... willing to work... willing to fight. It is not a place most are ready to enter yet. But here you are. Good. Read on. In The Plaid Avenger's World, we will strip off the shallow window dressing in which you have been trained to see the world. We will lay it bare to see what is really happening around the planet. We do this in order to gain enough insight about the current state of the world to truly understand the how and why and where things are happening right now. In this world, no single government or press dictates our views; no single political party shapes our opinion; no single religion or ethnicity tints our not-so-rose-colored glasses. We will see the world in plaid: a mystical weaving of facts, figures, cultures and viewpoints from every corner of the planet, culminating in the fabric that is today.
