“Global Capitalism: Its Fall and Rise in the Twentieth Century”

Event @ the World Affairs Council, 5/03
What: “Global Capitalism: Its Fall and Rise in the Twentieth Century”
Who: Jeffry A. Frieden, Professor, Department of Government, Harvard University.
Event: In 1900, many people considered globalization to be inevitable and irreversible, as we do now, and yet the entire edifice collapsed in 1914. Jeffry A. Frieden's insightful history explores the golden age of globalization during the early twentieth century, its swift collapse, the divisions of the Cold War world, and the turn again toward global integration. His history both deepens our understanding of the past century and sheds light on our current situation.
