Bringing common sense back to the globalization debate
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 imbalance...

“Hooray For Nation States”
That’s the title the editors at The New Republic picked for the article I wrote based on my new book. It was really hard to get the argument of the book into a short article, and frankly I am not sure I quite succeeded. (You have to be a subscriber to read the whole article or buy the hardcove...

A video of my talk at Johns Hopkins, SAIS
Johns Hopkins SAIS has put up a video of my talk there yesterday on "The Globalization Paradox" and you can watch it here. You can barely see me, give the positioning of the camera, but at least the audio is pretty clear.

A parable for the world economy
(This is the Afterword that appears in my book The Globalization Paradox. It is an attempt to state the book's central argument in the form of a bedtime story.) Once upon a time there was a little fishing village at the edge of a lake. The villagers were poor, living off the fish they caught an...

A video of my talk on structural change and growth

Saif Qaddafi and Me
Not long ago, a Harvard colleague wrote to me that Saif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, a son of Libya's dictator, would be in town and wanted to meet me. He is an interesting fellow, my colleague said, with a doctorate from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); I would enjoy talking ...

Martin Wolf: Doha is weakening the WTO
I am copying here Martin Wolf's comments on the Doha Round, as expressed on the CUTS-tradeforum. I find them remarkable because Martin simultaneously explodes three myths about the trade regime. First, he dismisses the "bicycle theory" of trade negotiations, which says that the trade regime will...

Why Kemal Dervis should be the next IMF Managing Director
There is a wonderful scene in Sebastian Mallaby's book that covers Jim Wolfensohn's tenure at the World Bank. Wolfensohn is arriving by cargo plane in Sarajevo in 1996, with his point man for Bosnia, Kemal Dervis. Dervis, who has worked hard to put together a reconstruction program for the war-t...

Why do (some, mostly international) economists dislike democracy so much?
My newest Project Syndicate column was stimulated, if that is the right word, by a comment made by a discussant at a recent book launch for The Globalization Paradox. "Rodrik wants to make the world safe for politicians," complained the discussant, and this set me off thinking. Here is the resul...

Caution! Sham trial in process…

Is China driving the wrong kind of structural change in the U.S.?
By Maggie McMillan, guest blogger When economists talk about structural transformation, they typically have in mind developing countries and the dual economy models à la W. Arthur Lewis that emphasize productivity differentials between broad sectors of the economy, such as agriculture and manuf...

Was the food price crisis of 2008 really a myth?

A surprising convergence result
Poor countries have access to new technologies already developed elsewhere so should grow more rapidly than richer economies. This is one of the implications of standard growth models, as well as of common sense. But in reality, there is no automatic tendency for economic "convergence" among co...

Will the divergence in growth result in eventual convergence in incomes?
I showed a neat picture in my previous post on the divergence in growth rates between developing and rich countries. But can developing countries really carry the world economy? Much of the optimism about their economic prospects is the result of extrapolation. The decade preceding the global f...
