The Globalization Paradox: Why Markets Can't Exist Without Governments

What if globalization works best when it has limits?This episode explores The Globalization Paradox by Dani Rodrik through a systems-level examination of globalization, democratic governance, and the institutional foundations of markets. Rather than viewing global trade as a purely economic process, this analysis investigates the political institutions, incentive structures, and feedback loops that determine whether globalization produces resilience or instability.Topics include the Political Trilemma, Bretton Woods, financial crises, national sovereignty, democratic accountability, and why markets have always depended on governments.🎬 YouTube:https://youtu.be/rKfR3VKnVO4❤️ Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/CrisisinPerception/posts/globalization-162633742?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading The Globalization Paradox yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
