Dambisa Moyo

Edge of Chaos

Why Democracy Is Failing to Deliver Economic Growth-And How to Fix It

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discontent with globalization and economic stagnation has been on the rise around the world since the 2008 financial crisis-evident everywhere from the revolutions of the "Arab Spring," to mass street protests from Europe to South America to Asia, to the British vote to exit the European Union and the election of Donald Trump as US president in 2016. The common thread is anger at the impotence and corruption of governments; as free trade policies fail to deliver the benefits politicians promised, governments seem unable to improve living standards or create long-term economic growth. With frustrations mounting and social cohesion weakening, all signs point toward a world on the edge of chaos.

Rezensionen

Edge of Chaos is intensely focused in its purpose and forthright in its findings. It has narrative drive; it is not self-indulgent or too long; and it uses statistics and other factual evidence from wide-ranging sources to powerful polemical effect Literary Review
