Trump, Trade, and the End of Globalization
David Jacoby WG89
Praeger
The last five years have seen a fast rise of nationalist and populist thought in the United States and throughout the world. In his latest book, Jacoby unpacks this phenomenon by analyzing the history of globalization and exploring specific globalization models—multi-national government systems, trade, welfare states and more. With a close eye on the unconventional trade policies of Donald Trump, the author also examines the social benefits of trade and offers a roadmap for “neo-multilateralism” between mature economies that could lead to great global growth.
