Review: "The world may be moving inexorably toward one of those tragic moments that will lead historians to ask, why was nothing done in time? In this new book, Ethan B. Kapstein makes the essential point that globalization has produced not just winners, but losers as well, and that we ignore at our peril the growing gap between rich and poor that characterizes the global economy."--Jacket.Summary: "Kapstein builds a new idea of economic relations between capital and labor, one that strengthens rather than weakens national competitiveness in the process. Sharing the Wealth sheds light on the global economic forces that so often seem beyond our control, and it reminds us of the opportunity and obligation we have to ensure that the benefits of globalization are distributed in a way that society views as fair to all its members."--Jacket.
