Abstract

The unraveling of traditional economic relationships-growth and income, productivity and wages, exports and employment-suggests to the author the need for a new economic development paradigm. The books reviewed in this essay contribute to this need by helping us understand the workings of the economy on a global basis and by tracing the effects of globalization on working people. By developing points of divergence and convergence among the authors, the author explores a number of themes including the nature of and role played by technology, the nature and effect of competition in a global economy, the effects of capital mobility and new global institutions, and the viability of citizen economic and environmental justice movements.
