"Publisher's description: The riot-torn meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999 was only the most dramatic sign of the intensely passionate debate now raging over globalization, which critics blame for everything from child labour to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and a host of other ills afflicting poorer nations. Now Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist known equally for the clarity of his arguments and the sharpness of his pen, takes on the critics, revealing that globalization, when properly governed, is in fact the most powerful force for social good in the world today. Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of international economics, Bhagwati explains why the "gotcha" examples of the critics are often not as they seem, and that in fact globalization often alleviates many of the problems for which it has been blamed. For instance, when globalization leads to greater general prosperity in an underdeveloped nation, it quickly reduces child labour and increases literacy (when parents have sufficient income, they send their children to school, not work). The author describes how globalization helps the cause of women around the world and he shows how economic growth, when coupled with the appropriate environmental safeguards, does not necessarily increase pollution. And to counter the charge that globalization leads to cultural hegemony, to a bland "McWorld," Bhagwati points to the example of Salman Rushdie, a writer who blends Bombay slang and impeccable English in novels touched by magic realism borrowed from South American writers. Globalization leads not to cultural white bread but to a spicy hybrid of cultures. With the wit and wisdom for which he is renowned, Bhagwati convincingly shows that globalization is part of the solution, not part of the problem. Anyone who wants to understand what's at stake in the globalization wars must read In Defense of Globalization."

"Die Globalisierung entlässt ihre Kritiker - eine Klarstellung Viele machen die weltweite Vernetzung der Wirtschaft für alles Elend auf der Welt verantwortlich - von der Kinderarbeit über die Umweltverschmutzung bis hin zur anhaltenden Armut vieler Länder. Der international anerkannte Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Jagdish Bhagwati greift in diesem Standardwerk die Argumente der Globalisierungskritiker auf und entkräftet sie Zug um Zug. Er zeigt, wie die Globalisierung die Lebensbedingungen für Millionen von Menschen sogar erheblich verbessert hat. Jedes Mal, wenn sich die Regierenden der führenden Wirtschaftsnationen zu einem Gipfel treffen, werden sie von wütenden Protesten und gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen begleitet. Worum geht es den Kritikern der Globalisierung dabei eigentlich? Jagdish Bhagwati, einer der einflussreichsten Wirtschaftswissenschaftler unserer Zeit, setzt sich seit Jahren mit den Argumenten der Globalisierungsgegner auseinander, er nimmt ihre oftmals diffusen Ängste und Vorbehalte ernst und entlarvt sie als das, was sie zumeist sind: Fehlinformationen und Falschinterpretationen. Anhand anschaulicher Beispiele gelingt ihm in diesem wegweisenden Buch der Nachweis, dass die Globalisierung durchaus ein menschliches Antlitz hat. Steigender Wohlstand und eine immer höhere Schulbildung in vielen Ländern Asiens und Afrikas sind schlagende Beweise dafür, dass die Globalisierung Teil der Lösung weltweiter Probleme und nicht der Auslöser für Armut und Unterdrückung in der Welt ist. Eine aufschlussreiche und intelligente Verteidigung der Globalisierung. Niemand, der fundiert über Folgen und Nutzen der Globalisierung mitdiskutieren möchte, wird an diesem Buch vorbeikommen. Mit einem Vorwort von Joschka Fischer. "Auf dieses Buch haben wir alle gewartet." George Akerlof, Nobelpreis für Wirtschaft "Durch seine gewinnende und weltoffene Art beweist Bhagwati den Globalisierungskritikern, dass für Ökonomen auch andere Werte als rein wirtschaftliche zählen." Washington Post "Ein überzeugender, kenntnisreicher und unterhaltsamer Beitrag zur Globalisierung und ihren Kritikern." Foreign Affairs"
"J. Bhagwati passe au crible les arguments anti-mondialisation. Pour lui, la mondialisation, si elle est bien conduite, est une force de progrès social dans le monde."
