One World Mania by Graham Dunkley
In this much-needed book, Graham Dunkley challenges the oft-repeated notion that free trade and global integration are the best means of development for all nations at all times – an idea that has proved even more misguided in the wake of the global financial crisis. By contrast, Dunkley reveals – through a wide range of statistical analysis and case studies – that at best the evidence is mixed. Looking systematically at issues such as trade-led growth, supply chains and financialization, One World Mania reveals the many problems that over-globalization has caused, often at great human cost. An indispensible guide for anyone wishing to understand the shortcomings of current global economic policies.
Capitalist globalisation needs a supporting ideology … Challenging that ideology by scrutinising the actual effects of globalisation is fundamentally importantGraham Dunkley’s contribution is the latest in a long line of books seeking to do so, and it is one of the very best. … This is a powerful critique of capitalist globalisation, its ideology of free trade and "globalisation pacts". * Frank Stilwell, Australian Political Economy *
Provides a beautifully written, evidence-based argument that the economic benefits of globalization have been exaggerated. * Robert H. Wade, London School of Economics *
A scholarly debunking of the vastly overrated benefits of free trade and globalization. Dunkley shows that mainstream economic theory has sold the world yet another dud. * Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics *
