In a time of rising protectionism and economic nationalism, it is more important than ever to make the case for free trade and open markets. In his new book, In Defense of Global Capitalism, Professor Jagdish Bhagwati argues that global capitalism has been a powerful force for good in the world, lifting millions of people out of poverty and creating unprecedented levels of prosperity.

Bhagwati begins by debunking some of the common myths about globalization. He argues that globalization has not led to a decline in wages for American workers, and that it has actually helped to create new jobs and opportunities. He also shows that globalization has not caused widespread environmental degradation, and that it has actually helped to improve living standards in developing countries.

Bhagwati goes on to argue that free trade and open markets are essential for economic growth and development. He shows that countries that have embraced globalization have experienced faster economic growth and higher levels of prosperity than those that have pursued protectionist policies.

Bhagwati also addresses the concerns that some people have about the social and political consequences of globalization. He argues that globalization has not led to a decline in social cohesion or a rise in inequality. In fact, he shows that globalization has actually helped to improve social conditions and reduce poverty in many parts of the world.

In Defense of Global Capitalism is a powerful and timely argument for the benefits of free trade and open markets. It is a must-read for leaders, policymakers, and citizens who want to understand the complex challenges of the global economy.
