Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Globalisation impacts almost all aspects of life. It is
often said that change is accelerating, and that the nation state
is increasingly anachronistic. This book challenges that consensus,
arguing that globalisation is neither an historic nor technological
inevitability; rather, globalisation and technological change are
as old as capitalism itself. Jonathan Michie makes the case for a
new, more realistic approach to economics. He argues that the
reduced power of national governments is a result of the
free-market reforms of globalisation created in the 1980s era of
Thatcher and Reagan, which led to the 2008 global financial crisis
and recession. The free-market 'capitalism unleashed' form of
globalisation is neither inevitable nor desirable - it is possible
to develop a new global green deal for economic progress, being
socially and environmentally sustainable. Michie demonstrates that
capital has become unproductive with increased speculation and tax
evasion, and that taxing wealth is necessary to create a new era of
globally sustainable development. Key features include: in-depth
coverage of globalisation written in a concise and accessible style
disputes the consensus that globalisation is an historic or
technological inevitability focus on current issues such as
unproductive capital, a result of increased speculation, tax
evasion and avoidance advocates policy proposals for global
regulation, taxation and corporate diversity argues the need for a
new global green deal for social and environmental sustainability
and makes a clear case for an improved and more realistic approach
to economics. The Advanced Introduction to Globalisation will be a
challenging yet engaging read for policy makers, academics and
advanced students of economics, management and business, politics
and environmental studies. This book sets out an alternative
worldview which will interest anyone concerned with our future
global prospects.
