О книге: A refreshing, insightful look into the political and economic dynamics driving globalization today Globalization: its earlier than you think. Thats the provocative message of Against the Dead Hand, which traces the rise and fall of the century-long dream of central planning and top-down control and its impact on globalization-revealing the extent to which the «dead hand» of the old collectivist dream still shapes the contours of todays world economy. Mixing historical narrative, thought-provoking arguments, and on-the-scene reporting and interviews, Brink Lindsey shows how the economy has grown up amidst the wreckage of the old regime-detailing how that wreckage constrains the present and obscures the future. He conveys a clearer picture of globalizations current state than the current conventional wisdom, providing a framework for anticipating the future direction of the world economy.
