Summary
"Globalization and Progressive Economic Policy" challenges mainstream thinking about the nature of globalization. Its authors are not hostile to markets per se. But they are persuaded that capitalist market processes, left to operate freely, are prone to generate injustice, insecurity, instability, and inefficiency. Taking full account of the new realities of globalization, the papers in this volume explore an unusually wide range of subjects, including trade integration, multinational corporations, global labor markets and migration, international capital flows, macroeconomic and environmental policy, and the central roles of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The papers also advance alternatives to neo-liberal orthodoxy, developing policy measures that counter the destructive features of markets and promote equality as well as efficiency. The approach in this volume is particularly illuminating for understanding the Asian financial collapse of 1997-98 and similar recent crises. The volume also includes comments on each paper by a wide range of distinguished economists, producing a lively, fruitful and often controversial set of interchanges.
