Product Description
Book Description
Globalization is now officially dead. Its collapse has left us with a paradox—a chaotic vacuum. Governments and citizens are unexpectedly reasserting their national interests. The U.S. appears determined to ignore its critics. Europe struggles with racism, terrorism and renewed internal nationalism. Elsewhere, the world looks for answers to African debt, the aids epidemic, and fundamentalism. As well as analyzing Globalism's negative aspects, Saul also examines its successes, such as the astonishing growth in world trade and the rise of India and China. Insightful and prophetic, The Collapse of Globalism is one of the seminal books of our time.

John Ralston Saul is one of the great minds of our time,
This review is from: The Collapse of Globalism and the Reinvention of the World (Paperback)
John Ralston Saul has emerged as one of the great Canadian Intellectuals of our time. It is no wonder that he receives praise for "The Collapse of Globalism" from other intellectuals around the world. If you want to know what is really going on, and you want to look beyond the 30 second news clips, read this book and it will become clear to you that "Globalism" was a sham that is now headed towards a deserved demise.
