Drawing on interviews with heads of state and CEOs worldwide, The Commanding Heights is a revealing, in-depth investigation of how the upheavals of the last twenty years - including China’s entrance into world markets, increased deregulation and privatization, and the new battle over globalization - have radically transformed our world and what these changes portend for the future. This paperback edition is updated throughout and features two new concluding chapters. Commanding Heights: The Battle for the New Economy (DVD set): Based on the best-selling book by Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw, the series chronicles the battle for economic power; the struggle between governments and markets around the world; the turmoil and upheavals of economic reform; the emergence of a new era of globalization; and the far-reaching debates about the shape of the world's economic future. Through remarkable interviews with world leaders and thinkers in 20 countries on five continents - including Bill Clinton, Former President of the United States; Dick Cheney, Vice President of the United States; Mikhail Gorbachev, Former President of the USSR; Vicente Fox, President of Mexico; Lee Kuan Yew, Senior Minister of Singapore; and Robert Rubin, Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury - Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy confronts critical issues that have defined the wealth and fate of nations and will shape our lives in the 21st century. In the wake of the September 11th tragedy, the series reveals the promises and perils of our now deeply interconnected world.

"Every once in a rare while, there comes along a program that staggers us with the unrealized possibilities of television to challenge and excite the passive minds of its viewers while informing and entertaining them as well. Such an achivement is Commanding Heights, the stunningly ambitious, brilliantly successful three-part documentary... No more important program for making sense of our life and times has been seen on the air in at least a decade and probably a good deal longer." - The Washington Post |
