Globalization, like many great idelologies before it, is dead. Despire the almost religious certainty with which it was conceived, nation states have not become extinct, international trade has not created real wealth that has spread across society and many dictatorships have not changed into democracies.
In this groundbreaking book, the distinguished philosopher John Ralston Saul examines where we go from here. As the hope of global prosperity fades and the problems of immigration, terrorism and the collapsing economy cause the world's nations to rethink their relationshsips, Saul's exhilarating investigation into the collpase of globalism is essential - and timely.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Now in paperback: 'Elegantly written and deeply important... Saul has provide a vital analysis of why globalization was never inevitable and always destined to fail, and of what will come in its place.' Sebastian Bosher, Ecologist 'A prophet' Time; 'Insightful, informative and entertaining' Guardian 'Saul brings a great breadth of literary and cultural knowledge to his task... There is much that I like about this indignant approach, and there is much evidence to support Saul's contention that things are going badly wrong with our planet, its economic and social systems and its environment.' Paul Kennedy, Sunday Times"
