Title
World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The reigning consensus holds that the combination of free markets and democracy would transform the third world and sweep away the ethnic hatred and religious zealotry associated with underdevelopment. In this revelatory investigation of the true impact of globalization, Yale Law School professor Amy Chua explains why many developing countries are in fact consumed by ethnic violence after adopting free market democracy.Chua shows how in nonWestern countries around the globe, free markets have concentrated starkly disproportionate wealth in the hands of a resented ethnic minority. These marketdominant minorities Chinese in Southeast Asia, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America and South Africa, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, Jews in postcommunist Russia become objects of violent hatred. At the same time, democracy empowers the impoverished majority, unleashing ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and sometimes genocidal revenge. She also argues that the United States has become the worlds most visible marketdominant minority, a fact that helps explain the rising tide of antiAmericanism around the world. Chua is a friend of globalization, but she urges us to find ways to spread its benefits and curb its most destructive aspects.
