Beschreibung
A LIBRARY JOURNAL 2008 BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR!Globalization. The Flat World. Outsourcing. Free Trade.Each of these phrases is a flashpoint in one of the most heated debates of our lifetime: Is globalization a force for good, or is it a policy that is sure to destroy the economic foundation of the United States and Europe while exporting our wealth and prosperity overseas?In The War for Wealth, leading intellectual and agenda-setting journalist Gabor Steingart examines how globalization has affected the state of the world's economy and returns with a bleak outlook for the West: our prosperity and wealth are disappearing faster than ever, and with it our political power and our long-held democratic ideals. But all is not lost; we can still stem the flow of capital and jobs and once again restore the West to its respected position of global leader in economics and politics.In this eye-opening and dramatic account, Steingart lays out the three potential scenarios the world faces - a shock scenario in which there is a global economic crash, an Asia-over-all scenario where the rising economies of Asia completely overtake the West, or the American renaissance scenario in which U.S. politicians unite with each other and with Europe, forming a pragmatic third way to bring the West back from the brink of destruction.Compelling, controversial, and thought-provoking, The War for Wealth alerts readers to the crucial state of the Western economy--and shows how leaders can return the West to its position of power in the global arena.
