Visions for the Global Economy
Author: John R. Gagain
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781475937923
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Visions for the Global Economy explores a collection of global issues that are vital to every student of world affairs. It addresses key topics on the global stage, focusing on the foundational aspects of these global issues. It gets to the heart of diverse arguments that create roadblocks to progress in the global economy and combines current affairs with key turning points in history. This guide examines topics of the global economy at their core, as each chapter traces the storyline of one issue. Global issues and the decisions world leaders make are complex; and there never is one clear reason as to why something exists or why something takes place. Visions for the Global Economy also considers economic growth, global economic governance, and political economy, providing a solid base for understanding the increasingly complex world today. The global economy has changed exponentially over the last decade and a half. Today, students cannot exclusively study politics or economics. They need to study both and have a good grasp of the political economy to succeed in today's world.

The Ages of Globalization
Author: Jeffrey D. Sachs
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231550480
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Today’s most urgent problems are fundamentally global. They require nothing less than concerted, planetwide action if we are to secure a long-term future. But humanity’s story has always been on a global scale. In this book, Jeffrey D. Sachs, renowned economist and expert on sustainable development, turns to world history to shed light on how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. Sachs takes readers through a series of seven distinct waves of technological and institutional change, starting with the original settling of the planet by early modern humans through long-distance migration and ending with reflections on today’s globalization. Along the way, he considers how the interplay of geography, technology, and institutions influenced the Neolithic revolution; the role of the horse in the emergence of empires; the spread of large land-based empires in the classical age; the rise of global empires after the opening of sea routes from Europe to Asia and the Americas; and the industrial age. The dynamics of these past waves, Sachs demonstrates, offer fresh perspective on the ongoing processes taking place in our own time—a globalization based on digital technologies. Sachs emphasizes the need for new methods of international governance and cooperation to prevent conflicts and to achieve economic, social, and environmental objectives aligned with sustainable development. The Ages of Globalization is a vital book for all readers aiming to make sense of our rapidly changing world.
