Globalization, like many great idelologies before it, is dead. Despire 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.

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 relationshsips, Saul's exhilarating investigation into the collpase of globalism is essential - and timely.
