The War for Wealth: The True Story of Globalization, or Why the Flat World is Broken
Praise forThe War for Wealth“The War for Wealthis a lucid and compelling reality check that alerts America to the need for creative leadership on issues that could prove as dangerous to global stability as terrorism in the not-too-distant future, including the unintended consequences of globalization.”—Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, former United States Secretary of State“Globalization may be a watchword of our era, but it is also a cliché that cries out for redefinition and fresh analysis. Steingart provides precisely that in this timely, provocative, and challenging contribution to the debate over the world of today—and tomorrow.”—Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution; author ofThe Great Experiment“Steingart has a subtle and rare comprehension of how the old categories for approaching the global economy are entirely inadequate for the challenge ahead.”—Jonathan Alter,Newsweek“This is the essential book rethinking globalization. Steingart challenges the naive, flat-earth mentality of the U.S. economic establishment, and calls upon the United States to revise its ideology and diplomacy.”—Robert Kuttner, coeditor,The American Prospect; cofounder, the Economic Policy Institute; author,The Squandering of America“Steingart has done us a great service. He is not satisfied with the doomsday scenarios which are so popular these days among the opponents of globalization. He describes, he analyzes, and he suggests solutions.”—John Kornblum, former United States Ambassador to Germany
