Globalisation Fractures: How major nations' interests are now in conflict de Charles Dumas

Globalisation Fractures: How major nations' interests are now in conflict

Autor Charles Dumas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iul 2010
In his previous books, The Bill from the China Shop and China and America: A Time of Reckoning, Charles Dumas was the first to identify the existence and potential impact of the Eurasian Savings Glut - most importantly how it would push US mortgage borrowing to excess, precipitating the global credit crisis. As we now strive to rescue the international financial system, he points to uncomfortable truths about the conflicts ahead.The US has reverted to debt-driven growth (this time, government debt), and its economic benefit is waning while the risk increases. China is veering back to export-led growth and large surpluses, increasingly at others' expense. Europe is squeezed between them, and the fixed-rate euro system is creating a subsidiary set of extreme imbalances: the Mediterranean cannot expand demand, while north-central Europe will not expand it.Globally, the choice may soon be between serially degrading US federal credit or putting up trade barriers. The first would undermine the world financial system, but the second would damage world trade, at huge expense to real incomes everywhere.Globalisation Fractures confronts the inherent conflicts as issues to be urgently addressed. This is the battleground upon which the future of the global economy will be determined.

Recenzii

To understand the causes of the financial crisis, read this insightful analysis of how globalisation led to our present predicament. This book will teach you more about why the crisis happened than any blow-by-blow account by an alleged protagonist
Charles Dumas has consistently been one of the ablest communicators on the financial crisis - a man with a nose for danger. In characteristically acerbic style, he sets out the causes of our distress, seeks out those to blame and maps out the escape routes. Required reading
Unless we correctly analyse the cause of the current crisis, we will never be able to cure it or prevent a recurrence. Most analysis does not get beneath the symptoms, but Charles Dumas gets to the root problem.
Thank God for Charles Dumas. He displays a true economist's understanding that most things in economics are the opposite of what you would suppose - that for example the global crisis has been as much the work of savings gluttons as of wanton debtors.
The question of who is to blame for the global financial crisis has been entertaining analysts - and presidents - for three years. As Charles Dumas points out in an amusingly dry introduction to his latest book, a case can be made for almost everyone. The service he performs is to focus on the responsibility of those countries that have made their way through the turmoil with a high level of savings and strong surpluses. China and Germany, then, are his prime villains, and, to some extent, Japan. They have sold their goods to an increasingly indebted world and ... lent that world the money to do so. ... the countries that have enjoyed an export-led boom cannot, as a point of logic, expect others to follow their model or they will have no one to whom to sell. He is right, too, to point to the way that China, in pegging its currency to the dollar, and Germany, within the euro, used partially fixed exchange rates to keep their already low labour costs competitive ... He has performed the service of turning the spotlight on to those hiding under a disguise of self-proclaimed virtue.
