| Abstract
|
:
|
Globalization is one of the most charged political battlegrounds of our age. Its advocates say it is an engine for universal prosperity, while its critics see it as a race to the bottom for poor people and poor countries. Both sides either don℗t or won℗t understand what the other is saying. Worlds Apart tries to bridge this divide by interpreting both sets of arguments and getting behind the polemics. Not searching for a middle ground, it unashamedly looks at the issues through a poverty lens and highlights the injustices of widening inequalities and stacked odds in world trade and finance. It argues for a different management of global change that ensures everyone shares in its opportunities - it is a call for 'ethical globalization'.
