Global Capitalism: Its Fall And Rise In The Twentieth Century

Globalisation is a choice, not a fact. It is a result of policy decisions and the politics that shape them. Jeffry A Frieden's insightful history explores the golden age of globalisation during the early years of the century, its swift collapse in the crises of 1914-45, the divisions of the Cold War world and the turn again toward global integration at the end of the century. Entertaining and enlightening, this is a comprehensive history of modern capitalism.
