International Trade

The book wants to provide an analytical review of the implications of data in many different contexts. As a matter of fact, data are correlated to the legal, economic and personal contexts. Furthermore, the report presents the different perspectives concerning the usage of data and their impacts on the agents involved: data subject, data collector, and data processor. This in-depth analysis shows the importance of coordination among consumers, firms and policy makers.

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years. 

In Straight Talk on Trade, Dani Rodrik, an early and outspoken critic of economic globalization taken too far, goes beyond the populist backlash and offers a more reasoned explanation for why our elites' and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalization made it more difficult for nations to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives at home: economic prosperity, financial stability, and equity.

Sorto nel 1995 per governare e sviluppare il commercio internazionale, considerato un fattore chiave della crescita in tutti i paesi, già nel 1999 il WTO è il principale bersaglio della protesta no global che esplode a Seattle e mette sotto accusa la sua politica di liberalizzazione. Ma come funziona realmente il WTO? Come vengono prese le decisioni al suo interno e qual è il suo ruolo nelle controversie commerciali tra i vari paesi?

FT Recommended Book on Global Trade War. 'It succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and how it affects things many voters actually care about' – Financial Times. 'My hero on this is Dmitry Grozoubinski, who has written the most beautiful book' – author Rory Stewart.

Lange galt China als eine Art sanfter, schlafender Riese. Zwar war das politische System und dessen Menschenrechtsverletzungen nur schwer vereinbar mit westlichen demokratischen Werten, doch man setzte auf das Prinzip »Wandel durch Handel«. China würde sich mit steigendem Wohlstand schon öffnen. Doch das Gegenteil ist eingetreten: China verschließt sich nach außen, hat aber enorm an wirtschaftlichen und politischen Einfluss gewonnen. Bereits seit 2013 schafft die kommunistische Partei mit Krediten, Investitionen und Entwicklungsprojekten neue Absatzmärkte und hat neue Seidenstraßen erschlossen.

America is a smuggler nation. Our long history of illicit imports has ranged from West Indies molasses and Dutch gunpowder in the 18th century, to British industrial technologies and African slaves in the 19th century, to French condoms and Canadian booze in the early 20th century, to Mexican workers and Colombian cocaine in the modern era. Contraband capitalism, it turns out, has been an integral part of American capitalism.
