This book speaks of post Vietnam leaders’ desire for a more cooperative global world order. Discouraged by war, they hoped that globalism and free trade - at any price - would discourage nationalism and end wars. This strategy became the central academic, economic and foreign-policy priority for the next fifty years. What could possibly have gone wrong? And tragically it had. Globalization or Democracy documents the complex concatenations -both economic and political - with their deleterious outcomes.
The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.
