Globalization Unearthed: Globalism's Funeral and the Future of the World




Events of the Library Foundation of Hennepin County show

Summary: Is globalism as we know it dead? What will replace it? Since the 1980s, neo-liberalism supporters have advocated for government deregulation of the economy and a dismantling of political borders in order to permit the free flow of capital across countries. Yet the global economic crash of 2008-2009 seriously questions the continued viability of these practices. Dr. David Schultz examines the contending perspectives on globalism and what possibilities there are for the creation of a new world economic order. Schultz is a Professor at Hamline University’s School of Business and a senior fellow at the Institute of Law and Politics at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of more than 20 books and 100 domestic and international articles. A frequent commentator for television and radio, he has appeared on Almanac, Today Show, National Public Radio, and elsewhere.
