Question

Who is he, what is he famous for, and why should i care as a citizen?

Answer 1

Noted New York Times foreign affairs journalist who has written extensively on globalization.

He has documented many social, cultural, and economic changes due to globalization.

You should care because he has been able to explain a very scary and confusing topic to millions of readers, who otherwise might be confused,or even panicky about our globalized world.

He also has given many dire warnings about Middle Eastern affairs and slow economic development in the US, which affect voter's perception and congressional direction.

His work is accesible and he makes economics interesting.
