The world economy in 2030: ruptures and continuities.

Summary Globalization does not wait. International relations of all kinds have multiplied over the past thirty years with the liberalization of trade, the reduction of transport costs and new information and communication technologies. The book analyzes the reform of monetary and financial systems, already at the heart of the agenda, but also the regulation of trade, an area where there is a lack of direction and where strong priorities such as the ecological transition are slow to take hold. Liberating the future requires that developed countries get out of a double lock-in. The first is that of their companies, prisoners of a financialization that leads them to favor short-term profits, and the second is that of their heavily indebted governments, which, like Moliere's doctors, only swear by austerity. The world is too integrated for the emerging countries to take over alone. It is imperative to find a world arrangement that liberates both. It is to explore these paths that this book sets out.
