who is Parag Khana and why should I care?

[Noir]

He gives lectures on globalization, economics and the interactions between states and nations, though I am not sure of his academic credentials,

You don't have to care, and i'm not saying you should, just trying to share an interesting lecture to anyone who may be interested in such topics, as i am,

Erm, well, Globalization is happening in every country, so its effecting the USA just as it is the UK, an obvious example of this is the current credit cruch, which has been brought about by Globalization,

So why ask me how it is working out, when you could just ask yourself?
