Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, as a new international economic order takes trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements, and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake? Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global ‘middle class’ – in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In National Market Liberalism, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.
