New Rules for the Global Economy

The ultimate paradox of globalization is that it works best when it is not pushed too far. That paradox must be reflected in new global economic arrangements that are based on democratic deliberation where it really occurs – within national states.

CAMBRIDGE – Suppose that the world’s leading policymakers were to meet again in Bretton Woods, New Hamp­shire, to design a new global economic order. They would natu­rally be preoccupied with today’s problems: the eurozone crisis, global recovery, financial regulation, international macroeconomic imbal­ances, and so on. But addressing these issues would require the assembled leaders to rise above them and consider the soundness of global economic arrangements overall.
