Grzegorz W. Kolodko, a leading economist and policy reformer, introduces a framework for understanding our global situation that transcends any single discipline or paradigm. Deploying a novel mix of scientific evaluation and personal observation, Kolodko begins with a brief discussion of misinformation and its perpetuation in economics and politics. He also criticizes the simplification of complex economic and social issues, and he investigates the link between developments in the global economy and cultural change, scientific discoveries, and political fluctuations. Underscoring the need for conceptual and theoretical innovation to address our global economic situation, Kolodko offers a provocative study of globalization and the possibility of coming out ahead in an era of worldwide interdependence. Deeply critical of neoliberalism, which advocates that economic control should belong exclusively to the private sector, Kolodko explores the virtues of socioeconomic development and the new rules of the economic game. He concludes with a look at our near and distant futures, questioning whether we have any real say in its making.
