Does globalization have a future?
I recently gave a lecture on this topic at the University of Florida, and a video of the lecture is now online here. You will need Windows Media Player to watch it.

Industrial policy goes mainstream
Brookings and AEI will jointly release a proposal today that advocates as much as $25 billion spending by the U.S. federal government on clean energies. The motivation, as described in the NYT story, is that cap-and-trade provides inadequate incentives for firms to invest in new technologies, a...

Book recommendations
Here are four very different books that I have greatly enjoyed reading recently. Kathryn Schulz's Being Wrong is a fascinating account of how being human means making errors that we refuse to own up to. Princeton sociologist Viviana Zelizer's Economic Lives: How Culture Shapes the Economy is ...

Why the Tea Party is bad news for globalization
The Pew Research Center's newest poll on Americans' attitudes to trade contains some striking findings. The most significant, to me, is that support among Republicans for trade agreements has collapsed in less than a year by 15 percentage points. Remarkably, most Republicans now think trade ag...

The unsung development miracles of our time
Which are the countries that have improved their human development indicators the most since 1970 relative to their peers? You’d be surprised, as I was, to find that the top 10 is dominated not by East Asian superstars, but by Moslem countries: Oman, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco, an...

Are high food prices good or bad for poverty?
It depends on whether the poor are selling or buying, of course. High food prices benefit poor farmers who are net food sellers, and hurt poor food consumers in urban areas. Low food prices have the opposite effects. In each case, the net effect on poverty depends on the balance between these tw...

Rob Bailey, a senior Oxfam policy adviser on food issues, responds to my summary of Johan F.M. Swinnen’s paper. Oxfam International and other organisations stand accused of focusing too heavily on the losers from food price movements, giving the impression that whatever food prices do, povert...

I was asked by Sophie Roell recently what my favorite books on globalization are. I listed books by Karl Polanyi, Ron Findlay and Kevin O’Rourke, Jeffry Frieden, Barry Eichengreen, and Peter Singer. Here is the discussion that this led to.

Is it time to call it quits on the Euro?
It pained me to write this as I have never been a Euroskeptic, but I fear the answer for Greece, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal may well be yes. These countries need both debt restructuring and a boost in competitiveness, and it is very difficult to see how they will get those while remaining in ...
