At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Thomas L. Friedman declared globalization the new economic order in The World Is Flat. But the reign of globalization as we've known it-driven by the United States, China, and big multinational companies-is over, argues Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst Rana Foroohar, and the rise of local, regional, and home-grown business is now at hand. It's time to admit that old-fashioned globalization has failed, says Foroohar. From the bare supermarket shelves to the shortage of PPE supplies and ventilators,the pandemic brought the fragility of global trade and supply chains into stark relief. It's evident that a neoliberal philosophy prioritizing efficiency over resilience and profits over local prosperity has produced massive inequality, perilous economicinsecurity, and distrust in the institutions of today. But the pendulum of history is swinging back, powered by place-based economics and a wave of technological innovations-from decentralized manufacturing and digital currencies to the internet of things and blockchain-making it possible to keep operations, investment, and wealth closer to home. Through extensive reporting, Foroohar paints a vivid portrait of how place-based economics is taking hold in virtually every sector from coast to coast. She tours the "vertical farms" upending Big Agriculture, meets the entrepreneurs bringing the textile industry back to the Carolinas, visits the small- and medium-sized businesses making use of 3D printing to revolutionize everything from manufacturing to housing, introduces us to the businesspeople and policymakers fighting corporate monopolies and big state power, and shows us why the global economy need not be a winner-take-all game. We can still make things at home-creating a more stable, sustainable, andself-sufficient economy in the process. In Homecoming, Foroohar explores the possibilities of this new era, and how it can usher in a more equitable and prosperous future for all Americans"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Industrial location. 650 0 $a Regionalism. $9 74708 650 0 $a Nationalism. $9 71513 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Foroohar, Rana. $t Homecoming $b First edition. $d New York : Crown, [2022] $z 9780593240540 $w (DLC) 2022016181 941 $a 3 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221111010135.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014344.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220816010217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC74A6C01D2811EDA31652FF20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
