N2  - "In this collection of speeches written and delivered in the 1990s, Dr Mahathir paints as true a picture as possible of what globalisation can bring about if present interpretations of globalisation are accepted unquestioningly. Like all great religions and ideologies, globalisation can bring about a better world.  But he cautions that it can also be abused, abused in such a way that instead of worldwide prosperity there will be worldwide poverty or extreme disparities between the rich and the poor.  Governments, therefore, must proceed cautiously with globalisation and should be on the lookout for adverse consequences and be prepared to take corrective measures. East Asian nations have recently witnessed how the free flow of capital borders can result not just in economic well-being but can actually destroy their economies. While we must globalise, Dr. Mahathir feels that we certainly cannot just accept. We must put a human face to globalisation." - Preface
