A Financial Times Best Economics Book of the Year A Foreign Affairs
Best Book of the Year A Fareed Zakaria GPS Book of the Week “A
highly intelligent, fact-based defense of the virtues of an open,
competitive economy and society.” —Fareed Zakaria “A vitally
important corrective to the current populist moment…Open points
the way to a kinder, gentler version of globalization that ensures
that the gains are shared by all.” —Justin Wolfers
“Clausing’s important book lays out the economics of
globalization and, more important, shows how globalization can be
made to work for the vast majority of Americans. I hope the next
President of the United States takes its lessons on board.”
—Lawrence H. Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury “Makes a
strong case in favor of foreign trade in goods and services, the
cross-border movement of capital, and immigration. This valuable
book amounts to a primer on globalization.” —Richard N. Cooper,
Foreign Affairs Critics on the Left have long attacked open markets
and free trade agreements for exploiting the poor and undermining
labor, while those on the Right complain that they unjustly
penalize workers back home. Kimberly Clausing takes on old and new
skeptics in her compelling case that open economies are actually a
force for good. Turning to the data to separate substance from
spin, she shows how international trade makes countries richer,
raises living standards, benefits consumers, and brings nations
together. At a time when borders are closing and the safety of
global supply chains is being thrown into question, she outlines a
clear agenda to manage globalization more effectively, presenting
strategies to equip workers for a modern economy and establish a
better partnership between labor and the business community.
