Summary:
The book examines the rise of populism and nationalism as a backlash against globalism, arguing that political leaders have failed to address the economic and cultural concerns of those left behind by globalization. It explores the consequences of this divide, including increased political polarization and the potential for conflict, while offering insights into how societies might address these challenges.
Key points:
1. Populism and Nationalism: Globalization has grown the economy but left some feeling left out, leading to more support for leaders who focus on national interests and job protection.
