Résumé

The debate on globalization has reached a level of passionate intensity that inhibits rational discussion. In this book, one of the world's foremost economic commentators explains how globalization works and why it makes sense. Martin Wolf confronts the charges against globalization, delivers a devastating critique of each and outlines a more hopeful future.

Wolf begins by presenting the political and economic case for a global market economy. He then analyses the history of globalization, with a sharp focus on the tragic ups and downs of the twentieth century.The book then dissects the position of globalization's critics, rebutting the arguments that it undermines sovereignty, weakens democracy, intensifies inequality, favours exploitative multinational corporations and devastates the environment. Wolf shows that the biggest obstacles to global economic progress - almost everywhere - have been the failures not of the market but of politics and policies. Finally he puts in perspective the threats to globalization, including terrorism, and suggests a route towards a global market economy that works better, and for more people, than ever before.
