Резюме:

Over the past decade, "globalization" has become a buzzword for

everything that is happening in the world economy or even in

international relations generally. But as even a cursory glance at

recent headlines reveals, not everyone is happy with globalization.

Violent protests are now a regular feature of international summit

meetings, and many young people have expressed their strong opposition

to policies that they see as enriching the rich at the expense of

workers, the environment, and traditional culture.

As the world economy has transformed in the 1990s and early 2000s, no individual has grappled with the social and political implications of globalization more than George Soros. George Soros on Globalization seeks to assess not merely how well the world's financial institutions have

fulfilled their larger mission of helping the entire world strive for prosperity, but also to point the way toward fixing the problems that have emerged in the globalization regime as a whole. Unlike other proponents of globalization, Soros does not dismiss the criticisms of the protesters; indeed, he welcomes them and acknowledges that in many ways the protesters have a clearer view of the issues at stake than the bankers and bureaucrats do. We ignore the protesters' message, Soros warns, at our peril.
