The Collapse of Globalism

With new material covering the current fragile state of the EU, and the right-wing fervour of the United States, John Ralston Saul's polemic book has never been more important, or timely. Globalization is dead. Nation states are resurgent, international trade has enriched the few rather than the promised many, and democratic values are on the retreat. The shining-eyed optimism of more open, more equal societies has given way to demagoguery and nationalism. As the problems of immigration, extremism and the economy cause the world's nations to rethink their relationships, John Ralston Saul's brilliantly insightful The Collapse of Globalism lights the way to where we go from here.
