“Thinking Big” with Rana Foroohar

“Globalization as we’ve known it for the last half century is over,” writes Financial Times columnist and editor Rana Foroohar in her much-anticipated Homecoming: The Path to Prosperity in a Post-Global World. The question is what comes next — and whether the “necessary and welcome” deglobalization that’s afoot can, as Foroohar puts it, be engineered “to localize, rather than concentrate, wealth and power.”

Join Economic Liberties on Thursday, October 27 at 8pm ET/5pm PT as we dive into the central questions of Foorhar’s latest, vital book. Celebrated as “eye-opening and gripping” journalism that is “as bold in its ambitions as it is readable,” Homecoming will serve as an opening for a conversation on global resiliency, prosperity, and democracy. 

You can pre-order Homecoming: The Path To Prosperity In A Post-Global World, at your local, independent bookstore here and read more about it in The American Prospect.

And stay tuned for more “Thinking Big” programming. On November 15, we’ll feature Chris Leonard to talk about his latest book The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy. If you missed any of our previous "Thinking Big" discussions, you can catch them on our website:

• In June, Sarah Miller & Matt Stoller talked with New York Times' Peter S. Goodman about Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World.
• In July, Sarah Miller spoke with University of Michigan Professor Dr. Elizabeth Popp Berman about Thinking like an Economist: How Efficiency Replaced Equality in U.S. Public Policy.
• In August, Nidhi Hegde & Morgan Harper talked with Brandi Collins-Dexter, Associate Research Director at The Technology and Social Change Project at Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center, about Black Skinhead: Reflections on Blackness and Our Political Future.
• In September, Sarah Miller & Matt Stoller spoke with Columbia Law Professor Kathryn Judge about DIRECT: The Rise of the Middleman Economy and the Power of Going to the Source.

Thanks, and hope you’ll join us for our latest conversation!

Warmly,

Sarah Miller
