Commanding Heights online
As far as documentaries on globalization go, I haven't seen a better series than Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World's Economy, the PBS TV adaptation of the book of the same name by Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw. There is a 3 DVD box set of the 6-hour show, which is how I first saw the series.
However, there is an alternative way to watch the series now, especially for those of you who live outside the western hemisphere and do not have easy access to Amazon and the like. I found, via Jacqueline Passey, that PBS has made the entire show (all 6 hours) available online. Yes, it's a sub-optimal way of watching it, but now you have no excuse for not watching it.
