The Globalization Paradox: Why Global Markets, States, and Democracy Can't Coexi

Description: The Globalization Paradox by Dani Rodrik Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Globalization, Rodrik argues, rests on shaky foundations. Despite the benefits it has brought to much of the world, there are profound conflicts of interest between democracy, national determination, and full economic globalization. He traces the ideas history, pinpoints its weaknesses, and points the way forward to a new smart globalization Publisher Description For a century, economists have driven forward the cause of globalization in financial institutions, labour markets, and trade. Yet there have been consistent warning signs that a global economy and free trade might not always be advantageous. Where are the pressure points? What could be done about them? Dani Rodrik examines the back-story from its seventeenth-century origins through the milestones of the gold standard, the Bretton WoodsAgreement, and the Washington Consensus, to the present day. Although economic globalization has enabled unprecedented levels of prosperity in advanced countries and has been a boon to hundreds of millions ofpoor workers in China and elsewhere in Asia, it is a concept that rests on shaky pillars, he contends. Its long-term sustainability is not a given. The heart of Rodriks argument is a fundamental trilemma: that we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization. Give too much power to governments, and you have protectionism. Give markets too much freedom, and you have an unstable world economy with little social andpolitical support from those it is supposed to help. Rodrik argues for smart globalization, not maximum globalization.
