The Unequal Effects of Globalization

Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg's "The Unequal Effects of Globalization" examines the uneven impact of globalization across countries and within populations.

The book analyzes the period of hyper-globalization (roughly 1989-2010), highlighting rapid trade growth and the rise of global value chains.

It explores how globalization has affected different groups, particularly focusing on the distributional consequences and the resulting backlash against globalization.

Goldberg investigates the role of trade in raising economies out of poverty, while also acknowledging the negative effects on specific regions and industries in advanced economies.

The book concludes by considering policy implications and the need for alternative approaches to address inequality.
