Summary
"A distinguished international economist here offers a powerful defense of the global market economy. Martin Wolf explains how globalization works, rebuts the charges against it, argues that the biggest obstacle to global economic progress has been the failure not of the market but of governments, and analyzes the prospects for global economic integration in the post-9/11 era. For this paperback edition, Wolf also provides a new introduction, which considers the recent debate. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
