Defending Globalization

12 Nov 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, simmering US-China tensions, and rising global populism have led to globalization facing renewed attention--and criticism--from politicians and pundits across the political spectrum. Like any market phenomenon, the free movement of people, things, money, and ideas across natural or political borders is imperfect and often disruptive. But it has also produced undeniable benefits--for the United States and the world--that no other system can match. And it's been going on since the dawn of recorded history. The original essays from both Cato Institute scholars and outside contributors compiled in this volume offer a diverse range of perspectives on globalization--what it is, what it has produced, what its alternatives are, and what people think about it--and offer a strong, proactive case for more global integration in the years ahead.
