The Collapse Of Globalism

Synopsis

Revised and updated, with a new introduction, The Collapse of Globalism is 'a triumph...reminding us what the global economy really is - something that humans have created...This is the start of a new debate' - Forbes . Globalization, like many great ideologies before it, is dead. Despite the almost religious certainty with which it was conceived, nation states have not become extinct, international trade has not created real wealth that has spread across society and many dictatorships have not changed into democracies. In this groundbreaking book, the distinguished philosopher John Ralston Saul examines where we go from here. As the hope of global prosperity fades and the problems of immigration, terrorism and the collapsing economy cause the world's nations to rethink their relationships, Saul's exhilarating investigation into the collapse of globalism is essential - and timely.
