Features: The wave of globalization is surging and rolling in. Globalization – economic globalization, capital globalization, financial globalization, political globalization, cultural globalization, even lifestyle globalization – is it a blessing or a curse? Politicians, financiers, business leaders, scholars, and ordinary people worldwide are debating and exploring this issue. Pessimists say: Globalization is a trap. Optimists say: Globalization is an opportunity. In this debate, "The Globalization Trap – An Attack on Democracy and Welfare" became a bestseller worldwide, translated into over 20 languages. Two renowned journalists from Germany's Der Spiegel magazine traveled the world, collected rich empirical materials, and wrote this book, vividly depicting the picture of globalization and its negative consequences in various aspects, while also proposing methods to overcome these consequences.
