| Summary |
When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely alliances, and unexpected foes. But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp cut through the confusion with an indispensable survey of the interests, logics, and ideologies driving these intractable debates, which lie at the heart of so much political dispute and decision making. The authors guide us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalization: The old establishment view that globalization benefits everyone, the pessimistic belief that it threatens us all, along with various rival accounts that focus on specific winners and losers, from China to America's rust belt. |
