Yale University Press has just published The Electronic Silk Road: How the Web Binds the World Together in Commerce. The book has been hailed as a "tour de force" by leading trade economist Jagdish Bhagwati of Columbia University, a "must read" by Senator Chris Coons, and "engaging" and "important" by Ricardo Ramírez-Hernández, Chair of the Appellate Body, World Trade Organization.
The hardcover is available from Amazon here, as is a Kindle version.

The paper marks in my own way an homage to Tagore, whose 150th birth anniversary we mark this year.
