Understanding the Great Changes in the World: Gaining Ground and Losing Ground since World War II

Abstract

The composer Richard Strauss would warn his conducting students ‘never look at the brass — it will only encourage them’. I am afraid that the subject the organizers have looked to me to speak about — Understanding the Great Changes of the World — has given me dangerous encouragement: I have responded by analysing the great tectonic shifts in the global economy that I have witnessed and thought about since I began studying economics.
