A Financial Times Best Book of the Year A Fortune Best Book of the

essential guide to the intractable public debates about the virtues
and vices of economic globalization, cutting through the complexity
to reveal the fault lines that divide us and the points of
agreement that might bring us together. Globalization has lifted
millions out of poverty. Globalization is a weapon the rich use to
exploit the poor. Globalization builds bridges across national
boundaries. Globalization fuels the populism and great-power
competition that is tearing the world apart. When it comes to the
politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in,
producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely
alliances, and unexpected foes. But what exactly are we fighting
about? And how might we approach these issues more productively?
Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp cut through the confusion with an
indispensable survey of the interests, logics, and ideologies
driving these intractable debates, which lie at the heart of so
much political dispute and decision making. The authors expertly
guide us through six competing narratives about the virtues and
vices of globalization: the old establishment view that
globalization benefits everyone (win-win), the pessimistic belief
that it threatens us all with pandemics and climate change
(lose-lose), along with various rival accounts that focus on
specific winners and losers, from China to America's Rust Belt.
Instead of picking sides, Six Faces of Globalization gives all
these positions their due, 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-growth versus sustainability,
efficiency versus social stability-driving disagreement and showing
where rival narratives converge, Roberts and Lamp provide a
holistic framework for understanding current debates. In doing so,
they showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex
problems.
