Lure of Economic Nationalism - Beyond Zero Sum

The Lure of Economic Nationalism addresses the continued appeal of economic nationalism, placing it in both historical and contemporary contexts. It also considers its alternative, a rules-based, multilateral trading system.The book argues that going beyond zero-sum outcomes is better suited to address current problems, including rising tides of ethnonationalism and even pandemics.
