In Defense of Globalization
In the heated debate over globalisation that is currently raging, critics have been heard blaming it for a slew of ills afflicting poorer nations, ranging from child labour to environmental degradation and cultural homogenization. Now, internationally renowned economist Jagdish Bhagwati takes on the critics, revealing that globalisation, when properly governed, is the most powerful force for social good in the world today. Using his unparalleled knowledge of international and development economics, Bhagwati explains why critics' gotcha examples are not always as compelling as they appear. With his trademark humour and intelligence, Bhagwati effectively demonstrates that globalisation is part of the solution, not the issue.
