I Want My Book TV: Airplane Wars and the Global Economy

Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 03.16.07 | 12:49 PM ET

Couple of things on C-SPAN2’s Book TV this weekend that might interest to World Hum readers. Nicholas Sullivan discusses Can You Hear Me Now: How Microloans and Cell Phones are Connecting the World’s Poor to the Global Economy. Also, John Newhouse is interviewed about the book Boeing vs. Airbus, which, the cable channel notes, “explores the competition for dominance between the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers—Chicago-based Boeing and Europe’s Airbus.”

Jim Benning is the editor and co-founder of World Hum.
