"An eloquent summary of the chief criticisms leveled against
global institutions." -- BusinessWeek
內容簡介:
Never before have we stood to gain or lose as much from
understanding the international economy. Scandals plague the
world''s largest corporations, the American trade deficit has soared
to historic heights, and international organizations from the World
Bank to the WTO are accused of being inefficient and corrupt. Is
our global economy as unhealthy, and as unjust, as we think? And
what can be done about it?
At this critical juncture, George Soros, a major proponent of
globalization, takes to task the many institutions that have failed
to keep pace with our global economy. At the same time, he offers a
compelling new paradigm to bring the institutions and the economy
back into necessary alignment. Economics are amoral, he argues -
but neither our society nor our economy can afford to function
without a distinct system of right and wrong. As we look toward the
future and wonder what''s ailing our economy, where our jobs are
going, and whether the power of economics can be harnessed for
positive changes, this thoroughly updated edition of George Soros
on Globalization is a report no citizen of the world can do
without.
