Us vs. Them
The Failure of Globalism
Book • 2018
In this book, Ian Bremmer argues that globalism has left many in the middle class behind, particularly in developed countries, and has not met the aspirations of the rising working and middle classes.
This has led to a rise in 'us vs.
them' politics, where populist politicians exploit economic and cultural insecurities.
Bremmer discusses the need for new social contracts and public investments in education and infrastructure to address these issues and prevent further fragmentation.
He also examines the political trends in major developing countries and their impact on the global economy.
