The Fragile State of the World: Unfairness, Discontent, and Global Capitalism
By: Rawi E. Abdelal
Description
In this project, Abdelal explores the varieties of domestic discontent that undermine the stability of global capitalism. Discontent has manifested itself in the rise of populist movements and parties on both the Left and the Right, thereby weakening the Center. The narrative thread that connects these seemingly disparate stories is that, increasingly, citizenries regard their economic and political systems as fundamentally unfair.
