Today, we review Elisabeth Braw's "Goodbye Globalization," which examines the rise and fall of globalization. The book explores how globalization, initially viewed as a force for peace and prosperity, ultimately failed to address inequalities and created vulnerabilities exploited by geopolitical tensions. Braw uses numerous case studies, focusing on key players in business and politics, to illustrate the successes and failures of globalization and its evolving impact on various countries and their citizens. The book also highlights the role of technology and its impact on globalization's trajectory. Finally, the author describes the shift in attitudes towards globalization due to events such as 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine.
