Recenzje

'The story Heath tells about an earlier moment of globalization is an important lesson for our times, when arguments about agricultural standards are simultaneously about quality and about supply, competitiveness and price, not to mention our way of life … Read this book. Its story may be about France, but is lesson is universal.' Mary Dewhurst Lewis, Reviews and Critical Commentary (councilforeuropeanstudies.org/critcom)
