Format:Paperback
Dumas has a long-established track record of clear thinking and prescience in the fast-changing world of global economics. This book is yet another example of that. For the specialist and non-specialist alike, this book is a necessary guide through troubled economic times. Dumas warns of structural conflicts within the global economy and raises serious questions for those who think that the bad old days of the financial crisis and deep recession are completely over.

Basically I found this book very difficult to read. I have not had formal training in economics, but have been reading the Economist and various pop-economics books for a while now and have never had anything that was such a struggle to get through. While I am sure being more knowledgable about economics would have helped, at least some of the blame must lie with the writer - after all, his job is to attempt to make it accessible (or at the least warn people that it is not!) and I know from other books that this is possible to do.
Those parts of the book I could understand were very interesting, and to the extent I could follow it his reasoning seemed logical. Just be warned that to get much out of this book you need a fairly thorough understanding of the relevant jargon and concepts!

Globalisation Fractures is an excellent description and analysis of the very serious economic problems confronting the world today. Charles Dumas accurately describes the multiple causes of these problems, and implies that they will not be easily solved by politicians hoping for simple and painless solutions.
