Revised and updated, with a new introduction, "The Collapse of Globalism" is 'a triumph...reminding us what the global economy really is - something that humans have created...This is the start of a new debate' - "Forbes". Globalization, like many great ideologies before it, is dead. Despite the almost religious certainty with which it was conceived, nation states have not become extinct, international trade has not created real wealth that has spread across society and many dictatorships have not changed into democracies. In this groundbreaking book, the distinguished philosopher John Ralston Saul examines where we go from here. As the hope of global prosperity fades and the problems of immigration, terrorism and the collapsing economy cause the world's nations to rethink their relationships, Saul's exhilarating investigation into the collapse of globalism is essential - and timely.

John Ralston Saul is the author of four novels and several works of nonfiction including the widely acclaimed philosophical trilogy: Voltaire's Bastards, The Doubter's Companion and The Unconscious Civilization. A former President of the Canadian Centre of Pen International, he is married to Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada and lives in Ottawa.
"'Like Orwell, Koestler, Marshall McLuhan, Primo Levi and Tim Flannery, [Saul] tells us unsparingly how tremendously we got things wrong, how much magic the Age of Reason cost us... [Saul is] the most wide-ranging mind, and one of the great organising and focusing teachers, we have.' Bob Ellis, Sydney Morning Herald"
