Kevin O'Rourke: Globalization and Varieties of Backlash
GUEST LECTURE
Globalization is neither new nor irreversible. There have been great waves of globalization in the past that have led to a backlash against international economic integration. The lecture will describe several of these episodes and discuss the parallels between the past, the present, and — perhaps — the future.
This lecture is a part of our program on the history of capitalism
