Globalization is exposing social fissures between those with the
education, skills, and mobility to flourish in an unfettered world
market-the apparent "winners"-and those without. These apparent
"losers" are increasingly anxious about their standards of living
and their precarious place in an integrated world economy. The
result is severe tension between the market and broad sectors of
society, with governments caught in the middle. Compounding the
very real problems that need to be addressed by all involved, the
knee-jerk rhetoric of both sides threatens to crowd out rational
debate. From the United States to Europe to Asia, positions are
hardening. Dani Rodrik brings a clear and reasoned voice to these
questions. Has Globalization Gone Too Far? takes an unblinking and
objective look at the benefits-and risks-of international economic
integration, and criticizes mainstream economists for downplaying
its dangers. It also makes a unique and persuasive case that the
"winners" have as much at stake from the possible consequences of
social instability as the "losers." As Rodrik points out,
"...social disintegration is not a spectator sport-those on the
sidelines also get splashed with mud from the field. Ultimately,
the deepening of social fissures can harm all." President Clinton
read the book and it provided the conceptual basis for the
trade/IMF portions of his State of the Union message in January
1998.
