Economic Globalization news

This month's Liber8 newsletter focuses on economic globalization and has links to free data resources for global economic information. Liber8, "an economic information portal for librarians and students", is a nicely designed and easily navigated portal that has links to various international, national and regional economic free data resources including, for example, "How Much is That" where you can find out how the value of a dollar in 1950 compares with today's dollar and see the daily closing values of the Dow Jones Average every day since 1885.
