Beschreibung
What Do We Know About Globalization: Issues of Poverty & Income Distribution examines the two fundamental arguments that are often raised against globalization: that it produces inequality and that it increases poverty. * * A lively and accessible argument about the impact and consequences of globalization from a leading figure in economics - Dehesa is Chairman of the Centre for Economic Policy Research and a member of the Group of Thirty * Demonstrates the ways in which wealthy nations and developing countries alike have failed to implement changes that would result in a reversal of these social ills * Dispels the notion of the so-called 'victim of globalization', demonstrating how, despite popular belief, acceleration of globalization actually stands to reduce the levels of poverty and inequality worldwide * Asks whether increased technological, economic, and cultural change can save us from international income inequality, and by extension, further violence, terrorism and war
Rezensionen
"Consumer warning: Do not go any further if you are looking for another polemic about globalization and its problems. Do read this book if you want to better understand how to extend globalization's benefits to countries and people that are not benefiting as much as they could." From the Foreword by Stanley Fischer <!--end--> "Guillermo de la Dehesa masterfully synthesizes a wide universe of empirical findings and conceptual reasoning to shed much-needed light - not heat - on the big issues of globalization." Jeffrey Frankel, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University "Extended literature review ... approach, supplemented generously by the author's own careful analysis, makes the essays both substantial and accessible to a wider audience."
