The recent rise of populist anti-globalization political movements and the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States in November 2016 preceded by Brexit in June 2016 triggered concerns about the current wave of globalization. It goes back to the 1970s and may end in turmoil just like the first era of globalization which went from 1870 to 1914. Building upon lessons from history and detailed analysis of recent trends, Michael Bordo will argue that the second era of globalization is not about to end. It is going through a reset following the Global Financial Crisis and the Great Recession and the inevitable political reaction to these events.
