Shared Prosperity in a Fractured World

The book examines the tensions between globalization, national economic policies, and social cohesion in an increasingly fractured world.

It addresses challenges such as rebuilding the middle class in rich countries, reducing poverty in poor ones, and tackling climate change.

Rodrik argues that these goals are often in conflict due to current political dynamics and the inadequacy of the neoliberal framework.

He proposes new strategies for managing these conflicts, emphasizing the need for more localized and inclusive approaches to economic development.

The book suggests a move away from hyper-globalization towards policies that prioritize resilience and domestic needs.

Ultimately, it seeks to find a path towards shared prosperity in a world characterized by fragmentation and diverging interests.
