Summary:
From an internationally acclaimed economist, a provocative call to jump-start
economic
growth by aggressively overhauling liberal
democracy
.
Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal
democracy
, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented
economic
headwinds-from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens. Hobbled by short-term thinking and ideological dogma, democracies risk falling prey to nationalism and protectionism that will
deliver
declining living standards. In
Edge
of
Chaos
, Dambisa Moyo shows
why
economic
growth is essential to global stability, and
why
liberal democracies are
failing
to produce it today. Rather than turning away from
democracy
, she argues, we must fundamentally reform it.
Edge
of
Chaos
presents a radical blueprint for change in order to galvanize growth and ensure the survival of
democracy
in the twenty-first century.--Publisher.
