Description

Grave New World: The End of Globalization, the Return of History by Stephen D. King explores a provocative idea: that globalization, once considered the key to economic prosperity, is no longer inevitable. As nations re-evaluate their priorities and leaders struggle to sell the global agenda to their citizens, economist Stephen D. King examines why this approach is being rejected. King argues that a return to "autarky" could lead to economic and political conflict, drawing on lessons from history to gauge the best course of action. This thought-provoking analysis combines historical insight with current affairs, offering a nuanced understanding of the implications of a world ruled by rival states with conflicting aims. By exploring the tensions between national interests and global growth, King provides a compelling account of why globalization is being rejected and what this might mean for the future of international relations.
