Has Radiohead gone bonkers?
My wife and I are huge fans of Radiohead (she turned me into one). Here is a picture from the fourth row from their Boston concert to prove it. (My wife has much better pictures from that concert. In fact, she used one of Thom Yorke from that concert as the background for her laptop until I...

How "The Office" would play at Harvard
Graduate students at Harvard's Department of Government ("Political Science" to the rest of the academic world) have put together a video skit which adapts the British series "The Office." It's called The Department, features many of its leading lights, and is very funny. The subject: a takeover...

If you want to get a Ph.D.

Changes at REStat
The Review of Economics and Statistics, which I edit along with my colleagues Alberto Abadie, Michael Greenstone, and Julio Rotemberg, is undergoing an editorial transition this summer. Julio, who has been the managing editor for the last couple of years, is taking a well-deserved rest, and we ...

Free-trader fear mongering
I like Fred Bergsten a lot. He named, supported, and published my book Has Globalization Gone Too Far?--despite the loud protests of some on his board of directors. I am a member of his advisory committee at the Peterson Institute (although it has been a while since I have attended the annual me...

Am I being dense?
France has threatened to walk out of the G20 summit in London if agreement is not reached on the important issues. Bravo! But wait. What does France want agreement on? "I am absolutely determined, and President Sarkozy has said it loud and clear, that we actually eradicate non-cooperative cen...

When did globalization begin?
In the 1990s, with the explosion of cross-border finance? In the 1950s, with the Bretton Woods regime and its institutions (GATT and the IMF)? During the 19th century, under the classical gold standard? In the 17th century with chartered trading companies shipping everything from slaves to sp...

Erdoğan’s Choice
“Turkish democracy is at a turning point,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced after winning a crucial vote in a referendum to change Turkey’s constitution. “We are sitting an important exam.” Erdoğan is right, but it is he who must pass the test. If the plebiscite victory emboldens hi...

The Turkish prosecutors’ pyramid scheme
Another bizarre set of police roundups today in Turkey: eleven people, mostly journalists, were subject to early morning house searches and reportedly issued arrest warrants. Among those caught in the net is Nedim Şener, an award-winning reporter, who has done more than anyone else to shed ligh...

No wrath like that of a free trader scorned
Martin Wolf's review of two books that favor trade protection for developing countries has led to an interesting debate, including a contribution from Ned Phelps. I find some of the comments there astonishing. Here are a couple. Arvind Panagariya: few free-trade advocates argue that free trade ...

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...

There are people who do not like my book!
Guy Sorman's review of my book The Globalization Paradox has one good turn of phrase at the beginning, where he calls me "a liberal mugged by globalization." But from my perspective it is all downhill from there. I provide the link to the review in the interest of equal time for my critics. The...

My interview on the dilemma of dirty hands

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...

Developing countries' economies are a mish-mash, combining the productive with the unproductive, the First World with the Third. But why are some developing countries able to shift workers from low-productivity activities to higher-productivity sectors, whereas others have seen labor flowing in ...

I spoke today at a panel on economic growth after the crisis at a conference organized by the IMF. My co-panelists were George Akerlof, Mike Spence, Andrew Sheng, and Paul Romer. In the audience: Bob Solow, Joe Stiglitz, Olivier Blanchard, and many others. In retrospect, it was probably a mistak...

Another nice review of The Globalization Paradox
This one comes from Bob Kuttner of The American Prospect. [Rodrik’s] new book, The Globalization Paradox, is simply the best recent treatment of the globalization dilemma that I've read, by an economist or anyone else. The paradox of his title is the fact that markets need states, but states ar...
