DescriptionAn Economist Best Book of the Year Between 1820 and 1990, the share of world income going to today's wealthy nations soared from twenty percent to almost seventy. Since then, that share has plummeted to where it was in 1900. As Richard Baldwin explains, this reversal of fortune reflects a new age of globalization that is drastically different from the old. "Baldwin's work seems likely to become a standard, perhaps indispensable, guide to understanding how globalization has got us here and where it is likely to take us next." "An essential book for understanding how modern trade works via global supply chains. An antidote to the protectionist nonsense being peddled by some politicians today." "I can't imagine a better and more accessible analysis of trade and globalization in the digital era." "In this brilliant book, Baldwin has succeeded in saying something both new and true about globalization." |
