Winners and Losers in Globalization

Is globalization a limitless source of benefit to humanity? Or is it responsible for the increasing gap between wealthy and poor nations, job flight and a host of other ills? How can the positive results of globalization be shared more broadly and any negative effects be minimized?

Guillermo de la Dehesa, current Chairman of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, offers an objective and dispassionate analysis of the emotionally charged globalization debate, detailing the economic effects of globalization on individuals, governments, nation states and businesses.

Seeking reason in this impassioned debate, de la Dehesa examines who stands to win and who stands to lose from the process of globalization, in a style accessible to readers unfamiliar with economic theory.
