In this wide-ranging collection of essays first published between
2007 and 2014, Charles Wolf Jr. shares his insights on the world's
economies, including those of China, the United States, Japan,
Korea, India, and others. First appearing in such periodicals as in
Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and the Weekly Standard, among
others, these chapters take on a range of questions about the
global economy. Wolf discusses the paradoxes and puzzles within
China's political economy and in its interactions with the United
States. He analyzes the shortcomings of Keynesian economics as a
response to the 2008 recession, as well as the weaknesses of
policies and actions inferred from the theory, and compares those
weaknesses with those of austerity policies intended to limit
government spending and indebtedness. He also offers his views on
economic inequality and where its principal sources may truly lay,
China's currency and the continuing controversy about whether and
when it may become a major international reserve currency, and many
more insights on key economic issues affecting the global economy.
Bringing these essays together for the first time in a single
volume, including two essays not yet published elsewhere, this book
enables the reader to absorb the author's expert perspective during
the years in a collection in which the whole is truly greater than
the sum of its parts. Each chapter includes a brief "postaudit" in
which the author attempts to grade how well or ill the essay seems
in retrospect.
This collection of twenty-five essays written over the past five
years by international economic policy expert Charles Wolf Jr.
covers a range of worldwide economic, political, security, and
diplomatic issues. Wolf looks at the challenges facing the United
States at home and around the globe including critical issues
regarding China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Iraq, and other key locales.
Throughout the book, the author offers his often-controversial
viewpoints, such as his assertion that "unilateralism" in U.S.
national security policy may sometimes be preferable to
multilateralism or that the erroneous expectation that Iraq
possessed nuclear weapons does not imply that the intelligence
leading to this expectation was flawed. Wolf reexamines each essay
in the light of later developments with a "postaudit" comment to
address whether the original argument is still valid and relevant
compared with when it was first written.
