Instructions
This is an individual assignment due by 5:00pm on Thursday April 25th. Throughout the semester, you will read a book of your choice and prepare a book report. The book must be related to the topic of international finance. Here are two book suggestions:
- The Silver Way, by Peter Gordon and Juan Jose MoralesLinks to an external site.
- Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited: Anti-Globalization in the Era of Trump, by Joseph E. StiglitzLinks to an external site.
In your report, you need to:
- Convince me that you have read the book (e.g., the summary must be accurate and appropriate, and the writing must be yours, etc.)
- Be able to explicitly make connections between concepts discussed in the book and concepts learned in the course; and mention the connections in your summary of the specific chapter in which that connection is relevant (i.e., do not explain the connections in a separate section or paragraph at the end of the report)
- Offer a well-written, well thought-out personal opinion about what you have read.
Should you choose to read a book different from the ones shown above, please check with me first to make sure it is an acceptable book for the assignment.
The report should be about 10 pages (double-spaced, 12 letter font).
You will submit your work to this Canvas assignment page, and the report will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin. This assignment will close at the stated due date and time. Late submissions will not be possible.
