Grzegorz W. Kolodko

Political Economy of New Pragmatism

Implications of Irreversible Globalization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides answers to fundamental questions of sustainable development and international cooperation in light of irreversible globalization. Based on comprehensive research and a wealth of experience from his own political activities, the author offers an insightful analysis of the globalized economy and its political, cultural and ecological context. Presenting an objective assessment, the author diagnoses the state of affairs and formulates recipes to overcome present day challenges, such as income inequalities, climate change, demographic imbalance and the new Cold War, which overlap with the "black trinity": populism, nationalism and authoritarianism.

"Grzegorz Kolodko is one of the most acute observers of the international economy, based on long experience both as a practitioner and as an academic. His writings are always an important starting point for debate and discussion about the political economy of globalization."

Francis Fukuyama, Stanford University, author of "The End of History"

"Grzegorz Kolodko unites deep policy experience, a vast breadth of observation and a solid grip on real-world economics in his case for a new pragmatism. For all involved in the causes of peace, justice, shared prosperity and public purpose, he is a leader and an ally."

James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin

"Dr. Kolodko delivers comprehensive and inspiring economic analysis, drawing on his rich historical political leadership. His probing and insightful assessment of globalization in today's and tomorrow's world is a must read."

Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, President of Rainbow Coalition and International Civil Rights Activist
