The Puzzle of Twenty-First-Century Globalization explores the
opportunities and challenges of our international economic system.
Patrice Franko and Stephen Stamos clearly trace how the ways we
produce, finance, and trade goods and services are profoundly
shaped by technologies of communication, transportation, and trade.
Globalization encourages hyper-specialization-lavishly rewarding
those with the skill sets to serve the global marketplace and
punishing those poorly positioned to compete. Globalized systems
have created great prosperity-along with instability,
vulnerability, and backlash. Few genuinely understand the complex
underpinnings of our international economic system-and these
specialists tend to operate in isolated silos of finance, trade,
and production. But without appreciating how systems come together,
we cannot explain political reactions against the costs of
globalization such as the Brexit vote or the rise of Donald Trump.
We don't value the changing geo-economic importance of the
developing world nor the deep threat to ecosystems. This book is
the first to emphasize the interrelated economic aspects of
globalization from an interdisciplinary perspective. By placing an
introduction to trade, finance, and multinational production in the
same text that discusses the changing role of developing countries
and the challenges to the environment, the authors provide the
novice with the basics to understand the global economy while also
challenging advanced students to appreciate global connectivity.
Closing the knowledge gap in international economics, the authors
present the historical context, interdisciplinary grounding, and
competing political perspectives needed to encourage sound critical
thinking around contemporary globalization. They provide the
essential global economic tools to equip all readers to make
decisions that may foster a fairer, more sustainable global system.
