Editorial Reviews
Review
'This is a luckily written book for readers in developed countries (especially in the United States) who are trying to make up their minds about various arguments they encounter in the present debate on globalization ... The result is a well-argued and succinct book for any reader who would like to get a quick briefing on the subject ... The message is, however, delivered in a very effective way.' Journal of Economic Literature
'The writing is clear, and the arguments readily accessible to non-specialists ...' Progress in Development Studies
'The book is a well-written, succinct analysis of the prospects and problems of globalization ... this is a balanced treatment of the subject that is highly accessible ... this is essential reading for those concerned about global justice.' Journal of Peace Research
Book Description
This book represents a new viewpoint of economic globalization. Until now, the debate has been polarized between those attacking globalization (such as the demonstrators at the WTO meetings), and its defenders (mostly in the U.S. business community). Jay Mandle argues that opponents fail to understand that broadly-based benefits for the poor are latent in the economic globalization process. Simultaneously, defenders have insufficiently acknowledged that it creates innocent victims who should be the object of ameliorative policies. Mandle describes effective policies to be adopted at the national and international levels to make globalization fair.
