From the acclaimed author of The Box, a new history of
globalization that shows us how to navigate its future
Globalization has profoundly shaped the world we live in, yet its
rise was neither inevitable nor planned. It is also one of the most
contentious issues of our time. While it may have made goods less
expensive, it has also sent massive flows of money across borders
and shaken the global balance of power. Outside the Box offers a
fresh and lively history of globalization, showing how it has
evolved over two centuries in response to changes in demographics,
technology, and consumer tastes. Marc Levinson, the acclaimed
author of The Box, tells the story of globalization through the
people who eliminated barriers and pursued new ways of doing
business. He shows how the nature of globalization changed
dramatically in the 1980s with the creation of long-distance value
chains. This new type of economic relationship shifted
manufacturing to Asia, destroying millions of jobs and devastating
industrial centers in North America, Europe, and Japan. Levinson
describes how improvements in transportation, communications, and
computing made international value chains possible, but how
globalization was taken too far because of large government
subsidies and the systematic misjudgment of risk by businesses. As
companies began to account properly for the risks of globalization,
cross-border investment fell sharply and foreign trade lagged long
before Donald Trump became president and the coronavirus disrupted
business around the world. In Outside the Box, Levinson explains
that globalization is entering a new era in which moving stuff will
matter much less than moving services, information, and ideas.
