This text examines the benefits and risks of international economic integration, and criticizes mainstream economists for not emphasizing its dangers. It argues that the ""winners"" have as much at stake from the possible consequences of social instability exposed by globalization, as the ""losers"".

About this title

Review:

[A] fascinating piece of work, and much the best thing I've seen so far on the subject... the bottom line is: the IIE strikes again, with the right study at the right time. [The Institute's] record on topicality and quality truly is amazing.--Clive Crook "The Economist "

This provocative and interesting study promises to make a significant contribution to the on-going debate... one must commend him for presenting a fresh, creative, and clearly-argued approach to the relevant issues... essential reading.--Susan M. Collins, The Brookings Institution
