Synopsis "Aftermath: A new Global Economic Order? (Possible Futures)"
The global financial crisis showed deep problems with mainstream economic predictions, as well as the vulnerability of the world's richest countries and the enormous potential of some poorer ones. China, India, Brazil, and other counties are growing faster than Europe or America and have weathered the crisis better. Is their growth due to following conventional economic guidelines or to strong state leadership and sometimes protectionism? These issues are basic to the question of which countries will grow in comind decades, as well as the likely conflicts over global trade policy, currency standards, and economic cooperation.Contributors include: Ha-Joon Chang, Piotr Dutkiewicz, Alexis Habiyaremye, James K.
