The War for Wealth: The True Story of Globalization, or Why the Flat World is Broken
Praise forThe War for Wealth&#8220;The War for Wealthis a lucid and compelling reality check that alerts America to the need for creative leadership on issues that could prove as dangerous to global stability as terrorism in the not-too-distant future, including the unintended consequences of globalization.&#8221;&#8212;Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, former United States Secretary of State&#8220;Globalization may be a watchword of our era, but it is also a clich&#233; that cries out for redefinition and fresh analysis. Steingart provides precisely that in this timely, provocative, and challenging contribution to the debate over the world of today&#8212;and tomorrow.&#8221;&#8212;Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution; author ofThe Great Experiment&#8220;Steingart has a subtle and rare comprehension of how the old categories for approaching the global economy are entirely inadequate for the challenge ahead.&#8221;&#8212;Jonathan Alter,Newsweek&#8220;This is the essential book rethinking globalization. Steingart challenges the naive, flat-earth mentality of the U.S. economic establishment, and calls upon the United States to revise its ideology and diplomacy.&#8221;&#8212;Robert Kuttner, coeditor,The American Prospect; cofounder, the Economic Policy Institute; author,The Squandering of America&#8220;Steingart has done us a great service. He is not satisfied with the doomsday scenarios which are so popular these days among the opponents of globalization. He describes, he analyzes, and he suggests solutions.&#8221;&#8212;John Kornblum, former United States Ambassador to Germany
