A bold new account of the state of globalization today--and what its collapse might mean for the world economy. After the Cold War, globalization accelerated at breakneck speed. Manufacturing, transport and consumption defied national borders, companies made more money, and consumers had access to an ever-increasing range of goods. To many, it seemed an unqualified success. But in recent years, a profound shift has taken place. Business executives and politicians realize that globalization is no longer working. Supply chains are imperilled, Russia has been expelled from the global economy after its invasion of Ukraine, and China is using these fissures for strategic advantage. What will the future of our world economy look like? In this groundbreaking account, Elisabeth Braw traces the intricate story of globalization from the exuberant 1990s to the embattled present. Drawing on interviews with prominent executives and policymakers from around the world, Braw poses the difficult questions all businesses and economies will face--and highlights the serious challenges globalization's fracturing will bring to the West.
