Globalization Under Attack

This book first presents conflicting views on globalization and then focuses on its present spectacular crisis. Considerable attention is given to the backlash against globalization represented by Donald Trump's surprise election in the U.S. The proposals for the U.S. economy of the internationally acclaimed economist, Joseph Stiglitz, which he exposed in his 2015 book "Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy", are compared and contrasted with Donald Trump's agenda. Also examined: the present crisis of Latin America's anti-globalization governments and the outstanding performance of the Labor Party in the United Kingdom under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.
