Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters

A Financial Times Book of the Year A Fortune Book of the Year “This book compels us to change our position, move out of our comfort zone, and see the world differently.”―Branko Milanovic, author of Capitalism, Alone “A very smart book…not just about globalization, but also about the power and importance of narrative…Highly recommended.”―Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America “An indispensable guide to how and why many people have abandoned the old, time-tested ways of thinking about politics and the economy. This is the book the world needs to read now.”―Richard Baldwin, author of The Great Convergence When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are clear, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims. But what exactly are we fighting about? Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp cut through the confusion and mudslinging with an indispensable survey of the interests, logics, and ideologies driving these seemingly intractable arguments. Instead of picking sides, Six Faces of Globalization guides us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalization, giving each position its due and showing how each deploys sophisticated arguments and compelling evidence. Both globalization’s boosters and detractors will come away with their eyes opened. By isolating the fundamental value conflicts driving disagreement―growth versus sustainability, efficiency versus social stability―and showing where rival narratives converge, this book provides an invaluable framework for understanding ongoing debates and finding a way forward.
