Globalization, as we have come to know it, is no longer the dominant force shaping the world. Industrial policies that were once considered outdated for decades have now been embraced by governments across the globe, geopolitical tensions have reached levels reminiscent of the Cold War era, and a resurgent far-right movement threatens the very foundations of contemporary democracy. In his book, "Endgame: The Roots of Globalization's Current Crisis," Jamie Merchant delves into the origins of this significant shift in the global landscape, going beyond the commonly cited failures of the post-Cold War period. Instead, Merchant takes a comprehensive look at the global economy over the past century, revealing that the significant political and economic changes of the last decade are not the result of a failed ideology of globalization but rather the long-term decay of the modern, market-based economic order. "Endgame" provides a historical perspective on the era of globalization, shedding light on the future trajectory of the global economy and world politics.
