'More than anyone alive Branko Milanovic was likely to propound a grand theory of our
perplexing global moment rooted in data and facts. With brilliance panache and reliability
he has done it' Samuel Moyn 'A must read for anyone concerned about the future of the world
order' Gordon Brown 'Simultaneously panoramic and telescopic there is no better account of
how we have got to where we are and no clearer-eyed analysis of where we might go next' Daniel
Markovitz A world-leading economist guides us through the ruins of the current world order:
where do we go next? Global neoliberalism is on its last legs while a new international
economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs tariff wars economic sanctions and national
champions are in nationalism anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise.
Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm as the status quo of the past fifty years
crumbles. What will take its place? Drawing on original research leading economist Branko
Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the
rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global 'middle class' in the greatest reshuffle
of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming
increasingly unhappy when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the
fight ahead: as plutocracy returns global war threatens and a new system silently shapes our
nations driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation Milanovic
provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century. 'Simultaneously panoramic and
telescopic... There is no better account of how we have got to where we are and no
clearer-eyed analysis of where we might go next' Daniel Markovits 'No one describes better
and quantifies with such precision the global transformations now underway than Branko
Milanovic. A must read for anyone concerned about the future of the world order' Gordon Brown
