Globalization is inevitable but it's also magnifying the gulf between the rich and poor. New extremes of wealth and deprivation are increasingly threatening the stability of the entire global system. The Globalization Gap reveals how globalization is spreading poverty, disease, and the disintegration of traditional cultures. A few "winners" are using their wealth to buffer themselves against these radical transformations. But, in most places, the new wealth generated by globalization is not trickling down. The result? More misery and political upheavals that will endanger us all.

Isaak argues that it doesn't have to be this way, and that the promised benefits of globalization can be gained without the withering unfairness. Isaak presents a realistic blueprint for sharing opportunity and creating sustainable innovation everywhere, showing how a new globalization can give the poor a powerful stake. The Globalization Gap takes on the most crucial challenge of the 21st century: making globalization work for everyone.

Features
