Buying into English: Language and Investment in the New Capitalist World - Pittsburgh Series in Composition, Literacy and Culture
Catherine Prendergast
English has become the language of choice for global economic, political, and cultural exchange forcing developing countries to ""buy into English"". Based on a study in Slovakia, this book offers a look at how the communist regime was forced to reckon with English's growing global stature.
