Explore 'Is Globalization Over?' by Jeremy Green, an insightful examination of today's complex global landscape. In a time marked by surging trade wars and rising nationalism, this essential read delves deep into the pressing issues that hinder globalization. With an ISBN of 9781509535453, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2019, this brand new book spans 154 pages of riveting analysis. Green masterfully frames our current challenges against a historical backdrop, illuminating why the global economy remains interconnected despite looming threats. He argues that the fears reminiscent of the 1930s, characterized by protectionism and political unrest, are often overstated. Rather than heralding the end of globalization, these difficulties signify a transformation in the prevailing liberal ideology, evolving into a form of nationalism that, while advocating for free markets, simultaneously reinforces borders and sovereignty. The work warns that unless we address the overarching issues of inequality and ecological crises, we may face a more dangerous dismantling of global unity. Offering both grave insights and hopeful perspectives, 'Is Globalization Over?' serves as a crucial resource for those concerned about the future of our interconnected world.

Description:
Looming trade wars and rising nationalism have stirred troubling memories of the 1930s. Will history repeat itself? Do we face the chaotic breakdown of the global economic system in the face of stagnation, protectionism and political tumult? Jeremy Green argues that, although we face grave problems, globalization is not about to end. Setting today™s challenges within a longer historical context, he demonstrates that the global economy is more interconnected than ever before and the costs of undoing it high enough to make a complete breakdown unlikely. Popular analogies between the 1930s and today are misleading. But the governing liberal ideology of globalisation is changing. It is mutating into a hard-edged nationalism that defends free markets while reasserting sovereignty and strengthening borders. This ˜national liberalism™ threatens a much more dangerous disintegration, fuelled by inequality and ecological crisis, unless we radically rethink the international status quo. This brilliantly original account of the discontents of globalization is a must-read both for concerned citizens and students of global political economy.
