COMMANDING HEIGHTS
The Battle for the World Economy

A six part, six-hour PBS series that tells the inside story of our new world economy... the struggle between governments and markets...
and the new battle over globalization.

Commanding Heights, the PBS series based upon the book of the same name by CERA's Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw, has been nominated for the 2003 News & Documentary Emmy Awards for Business and Financial in the category of Outstanding Documentary on a Business topic.

Filmed over the course of two years on five continents, Commanding Heights is the first in-depth documentary that tells the inside story of our new global economy and what it means for individuals around the world.

The series is built around dramatic stories, unique film footage, and extraordinary interviews with world leaders and thinkers from twenty different countries--including former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Dick Cheney, former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev, Mexican President Vicente Fox, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Singapore's Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew, former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin, British Chancellor Gordon Brown, former Speaker Newt Gingrich... and many more.
