This book provides a refreshing new look at how society is being shaped by globalization. It tackles themes such as how Western societies discuss the role that democracy should play in a
complex, interdependent world in which the growth priorities are set by big corporations, investment banks and sovereign funds. And how governments formerly elected by voters give way to ones
run by technocrats who are unpopular with citizens but enjoy market support. This book is a highly stimulating read that looks at how these apparent destructive patterns can be both explained
and potentially remedied.
