THE SHOCKOF THE GLOBAL

The 1970s in Perspective

EDITED BY NIALL

FERGUSON, CHARLES S.MAIER, EREZ MANELA,AND DANIEL SARGENT

From the vantage point ofthe United States or West-ern Europe, the 1970s was a

time of troubles: economic stagflation, politicalscandal, and global turmoil. Yet from an interna-tional perspective it was a seminal decade, onethat brought the reintegration of the world afterthe great divisions of the mid-twentieth century.

It was the 1970s that introduced the world to thephenomenon of globalization, as networks ofinterdependence bound peoples and societies innew and original ways.The Shock of the Globalexamines the large-scale structural upheaval of the1970s by transcending the standard frameworksof national borders and superpower relations. Itreveals for the first time an international system inthe throes of enduring transformations.

[A] masterful book.

THE ILLUSIONOF FRE EMAR KET S

Punishment and

the Myth ofNatural Order

BERNARD E.HARCOURT

The Illusion of FreeMarketsargues that

our faith in free markets has severely distortedAmerican politics and punishment practices.

The Illusion of Free Marketsis a beautifully writ-ten and well-researched book that addresses twosubjects of great contemporary significance: theconceptualization of market exchange as freeand natural, and the expansion of the Americanpenal system. The book argues that the way wethink about markets has shapedindeed, dis-tortedthe way we think about criminal justice,and it is time to rethink both. Harcourts claims

will spur lively and much needed debate.

ALICE RISTROPH,

SETON HALL UNIVERSITY

Not only is the free market of laissez-faire

doctrine not free, it underpins the extravagantunfreedom of our metastasized penal system,argues this provocative intellectual historyThe author mounts an incisive attack on theassociation of markets with freedom and govern-ment with repressionThe result is a stimulat-ing challenge to conventional wisdom.

MAYNAR DS REVENGE

The Collapse of Free Market Macroeconomics

LANCE TAYLOR

It is now widely agreed that mainstream macroeconomics is irrelevant and that

there is need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide abetter understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis. LanceTaylors book exposes the unrealistic assumptions of the rational expectations andreal business cycle approaches and of mainstream finance theory.

A tome for our times. It is engaging and forceful, the analysis is of the highestorder, and the exposition of very complex ideas is wonderfully clear.

GEOFFREY HARCOURT, UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES

There is a need for a careful analysis of why exactly much of mainstream macroeconomics isirrelevant and problematic, and whether a more useful and realistic kind of economic analysisexists which can provide a better understanding of real world events. Lance Taylors book fillsthis need, providing an authoritative presentation of a more useful and realistic kind of macro-

economic analysis and deftly mingling theoretical analysis and critique with discussions of basiceconomic concepts. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how the economy works andhow to make it work better and more humanely.

THE CRISIS OFNEOLIBERALISM

GRARD DUMNILANDDOMINIQUE LVY

This book examines thegreat contraction of20072010 within thecontext of the neoliberalglobalization that beganin the early 1980s. This

new phase of capitalism greatly enriched the top5 percent of Americans, including capitalists andfinancial managers, but at a significant cost to thecountry as a whole. Rather than blame individu-als, such as Greenspan or Bernanke, the authorsfocus on larger forces. Repairing the breach in oureconomy will require limits on free trade and thefree international movement of capital; policiesaimed at improving education, research, and in-frastructure; reindustrialization; and the taxationof higher incomes.

This original and rigorous political-economicdiscussion of neoliberal global capitalism showshow deep the roots of the current crisis are andhow stubbornly resistant it will be to conven-tional policy remedies.

DUNCAN K. FOLEY,

AUTHOR OF ADAMS FALLACY

An insightful account of the factors that haveled to the economic downturn. As Dumnil andLvy make clear, the economy cannot just returnto its pre-crisis path.

CAP ITALI ZI NGON CRISIS

The Political Originsof the Rise of Finance

GRETA R. KRIPPNERWithCapitalizing onCrisis, we finally have apersuasive account of theroots of the 20072008financial disaster. Whilemost studies focus on the proximate causes,Krippner makes sense of the dramatic expansionover decades of the financial sector of the U.S.economy. She explains brilliantly how and whygovernment officials encouraged financialization

as a way to solve the most vexing problems ofour political economy.

FRED BLOCK,

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS

In this wonderfully researched and tightlyargued book, Greta Krippner shows howthe expansion of the financial sector in theUnited States not only helped delay the dayof reckoning for spendthrift American house-holds, corporations and government, but alsoconveniently depoliticized the distributional

conflicts that had plagued the nation since the1960sCapitalizing on Crisisis an absolutemust read for anyone who cares to understandthe origins of our current financial quagmireand the distributional dilemmas that policy-makers inevitably and uncomfortably face.

THE CRISIS OF CAP ITAL IS T DEMOCRACY

RICHARD A. POSNER

Following up on his timely and well-received bookA Failure of Capitalism,Richard Posner steps back to take a longer view of the continuing crisis of demo-

cratic capitalism as the American and world economies crawl gradually back fromthe depths to which they had fallen in the autumn of 2008 and the winter of2009. As we emerge from the financial earthquake, a deficit aftershock rumbles.It is in reference to that potential aftershock, as well as to the governments stum-bling efforts at financial regulatory reform, that Posner raises the question of theadequacy of our democratic institutions to the economic challenges heightenedby the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression.

[Posner] argues that competitive forces in-spire financiers to take irrational gamblesespecially when theyre betting otherpeoples money. We cannot trust them to

put the common good ahead of profits, saysPosner. As a result, government must step into limit the risks bankers take and, occasion-ally, repair the damage they inflictPosneroffers solid suggestions for change.

PAUL BARRETT,

BUSINESSWEEK

Posner presents well-argued suggestionsfor change and offers fresh thinking aboutthe business cycle, building on Keynesstheories.

DON TAPSCOTT,GLOBE AND MAIL

THE CREATION AND DESTRUCTION OF VALUE

The Globalization Cycle

HAROLD JAMES

From the current vantage pointrising stock prices amid a weak economicrecovery and double-digit unemploymentit is too soon to know whether thecurrent crisis will be remembered as a financial shock that failed to throw offthe trajectory of globalization, or if it marks the start of a more fundamentalre-ordering. James modestly and appropriately avoids trying to answer thatquestion. But he asks all the right ones, offering a brilliant tour through theGreat Depression and the current crisis.

EDWARD ALDEN, FORBESONLINE

The reflections of Harold Jameswould be of interest even in times more tranquil than theseAt a time when economists are accused of having forgotten history, yet few historians can explain

the world of bank bail-outs and the turmoil they cause, James has a rare gift for being able to marshalan impressive knowledge of economic and financial history in order to highlight previously unrecog-nized connections with the past.

JUSTICE FORHEDGEHOGS

RONALD DWORKIN

The fox knows many things,

the Greeks said, but thehedgehog knows one bigthing. In his most compre-hensive work RonaldDworkin argues that value inall its forms is one big thing:that what truth is, life

means, morality requires, and justice demands aredifferent aspects of the same large question. He de-velops original theories on a great variety of issuesvery rarely considered in the same book: moral

skepticism, literary, artistic, and historical interpre-tation, free will, ancient moral theory, being goodand living well, liberty, equality, and law amongmany other topics. What we think about any oneof these must stand up, eventually, to any argu-ment we find compelling about the rest.

Skepticism in all its formsphilosophical, cyni-cal, or post-modernthreatens that unity. TheGalilean revolution once made the theologicalworld of value safe for science. But the new re-public gradually became a new empire: the mod-

ern philosophers inflated the methods of physicsinto a totalitarian theory of everything.They in-vaded and occupied all the honorificsreality,truth, fact, ground, meaning, knowl-edge, and beingand dictated theterms on which other bodies ofthought might aspire to them,and skepticism has been the in-evitable result. We need anew revolution. We mustmake the world of sciencesafe for value.

THE IDEA OF JUSTICE

AMARTYA SEN

A Globe and Mail Best Book of the Year

An Economist Best Book of the YearA New Statesman Top Ten Book of the Decade

In this intricate, endlessly thought-provoking book, Sen brings the full forceof his formidable mind and his moral sense to show how specific questionsofchronic malnourishment, ill-health, demographic gender imbalancemust beanalysed in terms of justice. Doing something about them is not a discretionarymatterit is a requirement of being human. Sen is the most sophisticated intel-lectual campaigner of our times.

SUNIL KHILNANI, FINANCIAL TIMESONLINE

[Sens] book quite radically attempts to shift the grounds of the conversation [about justice]altogether. It seeks to provide a counter-framework rather than a counter-theory. And this isonly one of its many admirable ambitionsThe repudiation of the economicist account of lifeis one of this books most valuable achievements.

ALLIES OFTHE STATE

Chinas PrivateEntrepreneurs and

Democratic ChangeJIE CHE N ANDBRUCE J. DICKSON

Jie Chen and BruceDickson draw on exten-sive fieldwork as they ex-

plore the extent to which Chinas private sectorsupports democracy, surveying more than 2,000entrepreneurs in five coastal provinces with over70 percent of Chinas private enterprises. The au-thors examine who the private entrepreneurs are,

how the party-state shapes this group, and whattheir relationship to the state is. This is a valuablecontribution not only to the debates over theprospects for democracy in China but also to un-derstanding the process of democratizationaround the globe.

Allies of the Stateis a finely tuned laser of abook. With a rigorous yet elegant research de-sign deployed with great dexterity, the argumentunfolds in tantalizing layers, as Chen and Dick-son get us closer than ever to understanding the

political attitudes and behavior of Chinas pri-vate entrepreneurs.

CULTIVATINGGLOBAL CITIZENS

Population inthe Rise of China

SUSAN GREENHALGHCurrent accounts of Chinasglobal rise emphasize eco-nomics and politics, largelyneglecting the cultivation ofChinas people. SusanGreenhalgh, one of the foremost authorities onChinas one-child policy, places the governance ofpopulation squarely at the heart of Chinas ascent.Focusing on the decade since 2000, and especially20042009, she argues that the vital politics of

population has been central to the globalizingagenda of the reform state.

In this wide-ranging and impressive work,Greenhalgh examines the evolution of Chinaspopulation policy in the post-Mao era. Shenotes that during the past thirty years the role ofthe state in managing Chinas population andthe bodies of its citizens has expanded enor-mously, involving efforts to promote womenshealth, foster higher population quality, andeven combat infertility. If we want to under-

stand the challenges that Chinas rise presents tothe rest of the world, we need to appreciate thecentrality of all aspects of population manage-ment in the strategic thinking of Chinese elites.Cultivating Global Citizensprovides a vitalguide to this controversial terrain.

JAMES R. FICHTER

[A] wonderful andimportant bookFichter tells a story of war,empire, trade, smuggling, capital accumulation,and enormous transformations in political econ-omy between the last decade of the eighteenthcentury and the third decade of the nineteenth

The Pacific lay on the horizon of opportunity forAmericans across the political spectrum, but itspursuit would nearly blow the country apart.

James Fichters excellent book helps us to under-stand the political and economic genealogiesof this powerful vision, and how the Pacific

world would come to rival, if not supersede,the Atlantic in American history.

STEVEN HAHN, NEW REPUBLICONLINE

In this ambitious volume, Fichter opens awindow on the relatively neglected subjectof the early history of U.S. trade with AsiaBy exploring the connections among

world history, U.S. history, andBritish imperial history, Fichtercontributes to a richer under-standing of the interconnectedcourse of Anglo-American eco-nomic development in the wakeof the American Revolution.

ADVERTISING EMPIRE

Race and Visual Culture in Imperial Germany

DAVID CIARLO

A stunning, breakthrough book; easily the most important new work on thecolonial and racial imagination in preWorld War I Germany in nearly a decade.In startling detail, Ciarlo shows us a new landscape of consumer advertising thatshaped German attitudes towards imperialism, the colonies, and racial hierar-chies. He also convincingly demonstrates Germanys prewar drift into a deeper, troubling,racial modernity. Brilliant, eye-opening scholarship.

HELMUT WALSER SMITH, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY

This outstanding book has original arguments to make about the connection between the riseof modern advertising culture and the subjugation of colonial peoples. Ciarlo explains why racial im-ages came to be so widely used in advertisements, and he analyses with great skill how those images

worked. Boldly framed and sharply written, his thoughtful and important work shows just what

historians can achieve through the careful, imaginative analysis of visual images. I recommendAdvertising Empirewith enthusiasm.

LOS T ILLUSIONS

The Politics of Publishingin Nineteenth-CenturyFrance

CHRISTINE HAYNESLinking the study of busi-ness and politics, ChristineHaynes reconstructs thepassionate and protracteddebate over the develop-ment of the book trade in

nineteenth-century France. Haynes shows howpublishers succeeded in transforming the industryfrom a tightly controlled trade into a free enter-prise, with dramatic but paradoxical conse-

quences for literature in France.In this impressively researched and clearly

written book on the publishing industry innineteenth-century France, Haynes argues forthe surprising role of the Second Empire in lib-eralizing the literary market, the centrality ofstate policy rather than market forces in thederegulation of the industry, and the dynamicrole of entrepreneurs in lobbying for reforms.Lost Illusionsis an original and important studyof the transformation of the literary marketplace

GLOBALDAWN

The CulturalFoundation of

AmericanInternationalism,18651890

FRANKNINKOVICH

Why did the UnitedStates become a global power? Frank Ninkovichshows that a cultural predisposition for thinkingin global terms blossomed in the late nineteenthcentury, making possible the rise to world poweras American liberals of the time took a wide-rang-

ing interest in the world. Of little practical signifi-cance during a period when isolationism reignedsupreme in U.S. foreign policy, this rich body ofthought would become the cultural foundation oftwentieth-century American internationalism.

Thoughtful and iconoclastic, this work is oneof the best cultural histories of internationalismto date and is a major contribution to the litera-ture on American foreign relations, imperialism,and culture and international affairs.

JEREMI SURI, AUTHOR OF

HENRY KISSINGER ANDTHE AMERICAN CENTURY

[Ninkovich] makes a significant contributionto the history of globalization and especially tothe intellectual history of global consciousness.

TO SERVE GOD AND WAL -MART

The Making of Christian Free Enterprise

BETHANY MORETON

Frederick Jackson Turner Award, Organization of American Historians

John Hope Franklin Publication Prize, American Studies Association

A Boston Phoenix Best Book of the Year

The history of Wal-Mart uncovers a complex network that united Sun Beltentrepreneurs, evangelical employees, Christian business students, overseasmissionaries, and free-market activists. Through the stories of people linkedby the worlds largest corporation, Bethany Moreton shows how a Christianservice ethos powered capitalism at home and abroad.

Moretonoffers more novel observations about the lure of Wal-Mart. She explains, for example,how the company invoked the fundamentalist Christian teachings embraced by many of its employ-ees to fashion a working environment that induced them to work contentedly for low wages andpaltry benefitsMoreton argues that Walton and his fellow executives quickly recognized the eco-nomic advantage of weaving specific strands of the Ozark regions fundamentalist belief system intotheir corporate strategy.

ROBERT FRANK,NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

This book offers readers an engaging account of how a discount five-and-dime store conceived inthe rural American Ozarks became the template for service work in the global economy.

COMMONWEALTH

MICHAEL HARDT ANDANTONIO NEGRI

WhenEmpireappeared in

2000, it defined the politi-cal and economic challengesof the era of globalizationand, thrillingly, found inthem possibilities for newand more democratic formsof social organization. Now,withCommonwealth, Michael Hardt and Anto-nio Negri conclude the trilogy begun withEmpireand continued inMultitude, proposing an ethicsof freedom for living in our common world andarticulating a possible constitution for our com-

mon wealth.Everyone seems to agree that our economicsystem is broken, yet the debate about alterna-tives remains oppressively narrow. Hardt andNegri explode this claustrophobic debate, takingreaders to the deepest roots of our current crisesand proposing radical, and deeply human,solutions. There has never been a better timefor this book.

PLANTATION ENTERPRISE IN COLONIAL SOUTH CAR OL IN A

S. MAX EDELSON

George C. Rogers, Jr. Book Award, South Carolina Historical Society

Theodore Saloutos Memorial Book Award, The Agricultural History Society

This impressive scholarly debut deftly reinterprets one of Americas oldestsymbolsthe southern slave plantation. S. Max Edelson examines therelationships between planters, slaves, and the natural world they colonizedto create the Carolina Lowcountry.

A rich, nuanced account of the origins and maturation of the plantation econ-omy in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Countering earlier depictions of theColonial plantation economy as stunted and planters as isolated from the larger

Atlantic economy, the author instead views the plantation itself as a dynamic instrument of coloniza-tion and development and planters as early modern capitalistsA solid piece of scholarship.

J. J. ROGERS, CHOICE

Edelsons narrative provides a number of new and exciting perspectives on plantation agriculturein the eighteenth century British Atlantic world[He] thoroughly dispenses with the image of theplantation patriarch at ease on his remote country seat and, most important, offers an alternative

If history is written by the winners, they have certainly succeeded in commanding the pages of thisdynamic and readable saga of English colonization.

Suismantell[s] an alluring story.

GEORGE ANDERS, FORBESONLINE[Suisman] has assembled valuable reminders ofsomething many would rather ignore; namely, theextent to which the music we hear, and how we hearit, has less to do with our personal preferences than

with what a large, well-organized sector of businessmakes available to us.

THE ORDEALOF EQUALITY

Did Federal RegulationFix the Schools?

DAVID K. COHEN ANDSUSAN L. MOFFITT

American schools have al-ways been locally createdand controlled. But eversince the Title I program in

1965 appropriated nearly one billion dollars forpublic schools, federal money and programs havebeen influencing every school in America. Withincisive clarity and wit, David Cohen and SusanMoffitt argue that enormous gaps existed between

policies and programs, and the real-world prac-tices that they attempted to change.

Ironically, as the authors observe, the least experi-enced and least well-trained teachers are often inthe most needy schools, so federal support iscompromised by the inequality it is intended toameliorate. If new policies and programs dontinclude means to create the capability they re-quire, they cannot succeed. We dont know whatwe need to enable states, school systems, schools,teachers, and students to use the resources that

programs offer. The trouble with standards-basedreform is that standards and tests still dont teachyou how to teach.

RESHAPING THEWOR K-FAMI LYDEBATE

Why Men and

An incisive analysis thatis both a joy to read anda must read. Williamsshows that work-familyconflict is not just an issue for womens maga-zines; it is at the core of what ails America.Changing the way we think about gender inthe workplace is the first step toward a morepolitically potent progressive agenda, and this

book illuminates the path forward.HEATHER BOUSHEY,

In this sensible and erudite book, Williams ex-poses the myths that have dominated work andfamily policy discussions and argues for the in-clusion of mens activities and differences byclass. By adding these crucial dimensions, shepoints the way toward simpler, smarter, andmore sober analyses.

THE RAC E BE TW EEN EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY

CLAUDIA GOLDIN AND LAWRENCE F. KATZ

R. R. Hawkins Award, The Professional and Scholarly PublishingDivision of the Association of American Publishers

The Richard A. Lester Award for the Outstanding Bookin Industrial Relations and Labor Economics

The American educational system has made America the richest nation in theworld. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of edu-

cated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boost-ing income and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since1980. The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.

One of the most important books of the year.

NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF, NEW YORK TIMES

Essential reading.

THOMAS F. COOLEY, FORBES

The most important book on modern U.S. inequality to date.

TYLER COWEN, MARGINALREVOLUTION.COM

[Goldin and Katz] tackle the most important U.S. economic trend, and, hence, most critical domes-

tic issuegrowing income inequality[America] now has the most unequal income and wage distri-butions of any high-income nationThe good news is that if Goldin and Katz are right, the cure forincome inequality is one most Americans would intuitively support: improving mass education.

BEIJING TIME

MICHAEL DUTTON, HSIU-JU STACY LO, AND DONG DONG WU

Among the soaring skyscrapers, choking exhaust fumes, nonstop traffic jams, andtowering monuments, one discovers old Beijingnewly styled, perhaps, but noless present and powerful than in its ancient incarnation.Beijing Timeconducts usinto this mysterious world, at once familiar and yet alien to the outsider.

This engrossing book merges travel writing, sociology and streetwise reportage.From Maos tomb to designer malls, karaoke bars to Pandaman, who parodiesOlympic hype, these intellectual sleuths search for clues to the hidden city be-neath the headline stories. Their Beijing hums with ghosts of the past, as well as

with every kind of futuristic dream.

JUSTIN WINTLE, THE INDEPENDENT

Beijing Timeis an exhaustive, modern portrayal of a city and its people, written with flairfrom the belly of the Beijing dragon. As China scrubs away the history of the Cultural Revolutionand repaints the city in capitalist strokes, old Beijing is being replaced by a more tourism-oriented

versionThis is a vividly textured account of a city in transition.

Height, Welfare,and Development,17502000

EDITED BY RICARDOSALVATORE, JOHN H.COATSWORTH, AND

AMILCAR E. CHALLU

Latin Americas widespread poverty and multi-di-mensioned inequalities have long perplexed andprovoked observers. Until recently, economic his-torians could not contribute much to the discus-

sion of living standards and inequality, becausequantitative evidence for earlier eras was lacking.Since the 1990s, historians, economists, andother social scientists have sought to documentand analyze the historical roots of Latin Americasrelatively high inequality and persistent poverty.

This edited volume with eight compelling chap-ters by preeminent economists and social scien-tists brings together some of the most importantresults of this work.
