Essential reading for students, policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of global trade and its impact on national economies and societies.

Description

An honest discussion of free trade and how nations can sensibly chart a path forward in today's global economy.

Not so long ago, the nation-state seemed to be on its deathbed, condemned to irrelevance by the forces of globalisation and technology. Now it is back with a vengeance, propelled by a groundswell of populists around the world. In Straight Talk on Trade, Dani Rodrik, an early and outspoken critic of economic globalisation taken too far, goes beyond the populist backlash and offers a more reasoned explanation for why our elites' and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalisation made it more difficult for nations to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives at home.

Ranging over the recent experiences of advanced countries, the eurozone, and developing nations, Straight Talk on Trade charts a way forward with new ideas about how to reconcile today's inequitable trends with liberal democracy and social inclusion.
