World on Fire

How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability

Amy Chua

Discover why economic globalization and democratic ideals are not always the solution to ending underdevelopment and social conflict. In this eye-opening book, renowned Yale Law School professor Amy Chua analyzes how the concentration of wealth in the hands of an ethnic minority fuels ethnic violence around the world. Learn about the "market-dominant minorities" of Chinese, Croatians, whites, Indians, Lebanese, and Jews who have become targets of violent hatred. Chua also explores the impact of democracy on impoverished majorities, which can lead to ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and revenge. Finally, find out why the United States is seen as the world's most visible market-dominant minority and how we can make globalization more equitable.

Over dinner with my wife last night, I deeply reflected on events leading to my decision to finally be a Public Servant, I shared with her this book I read more the ten years ago. Inequality in the world is a curse, and SA is a victim of this evil. Must read book to wake us up      fuente
