About the Book

Much has been written about globalization. Even more has been written over the past two centuries about capitalism and economic crises that threaten its survival. Yet there are still serious misunderstandings of each that make capitalism, despite its capacity for creating wealth, incapable of satisfying even the basic needs and aspirations of all, economic crises a growing threat to cooperation and peace, and globalization unsustainable in its present form. In this wide-ranging examination of the topical issues currently debated around the world, the author combines economic analysis with historical experience of many countries to show why fundamental changes in national attitudes and policies are urgently needed, the essential institutional and systemic reforms that this would require, and why economic progress, social stability and peace depend on them. This book is indispensable reading for professional economists, politicians and other decision makers, and all those interested in important national and international developments that affect everyone. It is essential reading, therefore, not only for students of economics but also those of social and business studies, international relations, politics and history.

About the Author :
MICA PANIC is Fellow of Selwyn College, University of Cambridge, and was formerly Visiting Professor of International Economics at the University of Milan. His non-academic appointments have included posts in the UK Government Economic Service (Chief Economist at the National Economic Development Office), the Bank of England (Head of External Policy Division), the University of Cambridge (Bursar of Selwyn College) and the United Nations (Vice Chairman of the Committee for Development Policy, Consultant on the Economies in Transition and on Economic Reconstruction of Post-Conflict Countries), as well as a year with Ford Motor Co. His publications include books and many articles on various aspects of international and development economics, economic policy and industrial economics.

Review :
'In this creative response to the large issues raised by globalization, Mica Panic combines broad experience in industry, government, the Bank of England and the United Nations with in-depth academic analysis. He is ideally placed to give both diagnosis and prescription and does so convincingly and in a style accessible to non-economists.' - Professor David Ford, University of Cambridge 'This is an impressive collection of essays. They are written in a non-technical way that makes them accessible to a fairly wide readership. They also deal with many important issues that the economics profession tends to ignore. Taken as a whole, they provide a coherent and unusual overview of the world economy and its modern evolution and operation. After reading this collection I felt that I had really learned something profound about the forces now shaping the world economy. As someone who is instinctively sceptical of international institutions and international economic regulations, as I read this book I found myself questioning some of my long-held beliefs.' - Robert Rowthorn, Professor of Economics, University of Cambridge
