Featuring the author **Johan Norberg** with comments by **Bruce Stokes**, Staff Correspondent, *National Journal*/ 

Johan Norberg is a young writer-activist at the Swedish think tank Timbro. A self-proclaimed anarchist in his teens, he is now a passionate crusader for the globalization that is lifting the Third World out of poverty. His book *In Defense of Global Capitalism* has received rave reviews in Sweden, the Netherlands, and England and is now available in the United States in an updated edition. To write the book and a British Channel 4 documentary based on it, Norberg traveled to Vietnam, Africa, and other battle zones in the war over globalization. His previous books include *The Resistance Man Vilhelm Moberg*, *The History of Swedish Liberalism*, and *State, Individual, and Market*.
