In Defense Of Globalization by Jagdish N. Bhagwati
This book argues that economic globalization—especially freer trade and integration into world markets—has been a major engine of growth and poverty reduction, and that many criticisms confuse the effects of trade with the failures of domestic policies and governance; it defends liberalization while acknowledging the need for complementary social policies, safety nets, and better international rules to address dislocations, inequality, and environmental concerns, and warns that protectionism and retreat from openness would harm developing countries most while urging reforms in global institutions to make globalization both fairer and more effective.
