The long view on the global economy

My latest Project Syndicate piece argues that the world economy has handled the financial shock rather well so far, but that the real test for globalization is yet to come. 

History teaches that global economic order is difficult to establish and maintain in the absence of a dominant economic power. The interwar period, which suffered from a similar crisis of leadership, produced not only a collapse of globalization, but a devastating armed conflict on a global scale.

So the stakes in righting the world economy could not be higher. Mismanage the process, and the consequences could be unimaginable.
Unfortunately, many of the solutions on offer are either too timid or demand too much of a global leadership that is in short supply.

The conundrum of global reform is that the proposals that go far enough, such as establishing a global financial regulator, are wildly unrealistic, while those that are realistic, such as reform of the IMF, fall far short of what is needed.

What we need is a vision of globalization that is fully cognizant of its limits. We can start with a simple principle: We should strive not for maximum openness in trade and finance, but for levels of openness that leave ample room for the pursuit of domestic social and economic objectives in rich and poor countries alike. In effect, the best way to save globalization is to not push it too far.

The column offers some hints about what I have in mind, but those who are curious about the details will have to show up at LSE on Tuesday.

wish we could have had more time to go over the examples of 'traffic rules' for trade and finance, particularly the latter, within this idea of a renewed embedded liberalism.

I think you are right. Though I would add that this problem got much worse in the middle of the 1990's when GATT was replaced by the WTO. Prior to that national economies were closed enough for governments to deal with market failure domestically. Incorporating trade in services into the WTO and setting up an independent dispute settlement mechanism made massive market failure almost inevitable.orjin krem

Dani, admiring your prolific work! I recall our argument about History in general. I don't think that your thesis that a dominant power is required to keep everyone else in order. I think that's exactly the problem. So History does not teach anything, historians and officialdom do (whatever is convenient to them at the moment).
Anyways if you really depend on defense, self-defense is likely the first step in the right direction. Pepper spray is your self-defense of choice. http://www.pepperspraycenter.com hence the link to the website. Pleasure's mine...!

Many places and centers offer business and trade promotions to both buyers and supplier.What about the differences in skill intensities across industries? The job losses in the relatively unskilled-labor intensive battery industry should have little effect on the relatively skilled-labor intensive machinery

Although, it’s obvious that these things are really getting difficult and mismanagement is causing a lot of issues. However, I guess it’s something not easy to change straight away, I prefer not to worry too much over it. At least, I am not worried with been a trader, I work under OctaFX broker and with them; I find it ever easy with doing things and also with their expert analysis which is available on day to day basis which keeps it all good.
