Can the welfare state survive in an economically integrated
world? Many have argued that globalization has undermined national
policies to raise the living standards and enhance the economic
opportunities of the poor. This book, by sixteen of the world's
leading authorities in international economics and the welfare
state, suggests a surprisingly different set of consequences:
Globalization does not preclude social insurance and egalitarian
redistribution--but it does change the mix of policies that can
accomplish these ends. Globalization and Egalitarian
Redistribution demonstrates that the free flow of goods,
capital, and labor has increased the inequality or volatility of
labor earnings in advanced industrial societies--while constraining
governments' ability to tax the winners from globalization to
compensate workers for their loss. This flow has meanwhile created
opportunities for enhancing the welfare of the less well off in
poor and middle-income countries. Comprising eleven essays framed
by the editors' introduction and conclusion, this book represents
the first systematic look at how globalization affects policies
aimed at reducing inequalities. The contributors are Keith Banting,
Pranab Bardhan, Carles Boix, Samuel Bowles, Minsik Choi, Richard
Johnston, Covadonga Meseguer Yebra, Karl Ove Moene, Layna Mosley,
Claus Offe, Ugo Pagano, Adam Przeworski, Kenneth Scheve, Matthew J.
Slaughter, Stuart Soroka, and Michael Wallerstein.
