Globalism is dead, says Canadian philosopher and essayist John Ralston Saul, whose latest book The Collapse of Globalism: And the Reinvention of the World condemns the idea that a borderless and unregulated international market system will create wealth for all. Ralston Saul argues that globalism's underlying assumptions were faulty, and offers a mounting list of evidence of its failure: the reemergence of nationalism and protectionism; the return to mercantilism; the worsening divide between rich and poor. China International Business sat down with Ralston Saul after his talk at the Shanghai Fourth Annual Literary Festival in March to discuss his most controversial points.
