Homecoming: The Path to Prosperity in a Post-Global World

內容簡介

內容簡介 二十世紀初，托馬斯弗里德曼在《世界是平的》中宣稱全球化是新的經濟秩序。但金融時報專欄作家和 CNN全球經濟分析師Rana Foroohar在本書中揭示，全球化走向破碎化實則已持續數十年之久，而新冠疫情與國際戰事所帶來的政治與經濟上的混亂更突顯了全球化的脆弱性，隨著全球化走向盡頭，本地化、區域化和本土企業的崛起將逐漸取而代之。A sweeping case that a new age of economic localization will reunite place and prosperity, putting an end to the last half century of globalization—by one of the preeminent economic journalists writing todayAt the dawn of the twenty-first century, Thomas Friedman, in The World Is Flat, declared globalization the new economic order. But the reign of globalization as we’ve known it is over, argues Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst Rana Foroohar, and the rise of local, regional, and homegrown business is now at hand.With bare supermarket shelves and the shortage of PPE supplies, the pandemic brought the fragility of global trade and supply chains into stark relief. The tragic war in Ukraine and the political and economic chaos that followed have further underlined the vulnerabilities of globalization. The world, it turns out, isn’t flat—in fact, it’s quite bumpy.This fragmentation has been coming for decades, observes Foroohar. Our neoliberal economic philosophy of prioritizing efficiency over resilience and profits over local prosperity has produced massive inequality, persistent economic insecurity, and distrust in our institutions. This philosophy, which underpinned the last half century of globalization, has run its course. Place-based economics and a wave of technological innovations now make it possible to keep operations, investment, and wealth closer to home, wherever that may be.With the pendulum of history swinging back, Homecoming explores both the challenges and the possibilities of this new era, and how it can usher in a more equitable and prosperous future."
