In Defense of Global Capitalism FROM THE PUBLISHER
In Defense of Global capitalism is the first book to rebut, systematically and thoroughly, the claims of the anti-globalization movement. With facts, statistics, and graphs, Norberg shows why capitalism is in the process of creating a better world. The book is written in a conversational style with an emphasis on liberal values and the opportunities and freedom that globalization brings to the world's poor.
Norberg takes on the tough issues - economic growth, freedom vs. equality, free trade and fair trade, international debt, child labor, cultural imperialism - and concludes that free-market capitalism is the best route out of global poverty.
