One World Mania : A Critical Guide to Free Trade, Financialization and Over-Globalization

In this much-needed book, Graham Dunkley challenges the oft-repeated notion that free trade and global integration are the best means of development for all nations at all times - an idea that has proved even more misguided in the wake of the global financial crisis. By contrast, Dunkley reveals - through a wide range of statistical analysis and case studies - that at best the evidence is mixed. Looking systematically at issues such as trade-led growth, supply chains and financialization, "One World Mania" reveals the many problems that over-globalization has caused, often at great human cost.An indispensible guide for anyone wishing to understand the shortcomings of current global economic policies.
