The World at a Crossroads

2015 | Business & Finance

The world is at a social and moral crossroads. The wealthiest eighty-five people in the world possess more than the three billion poorest people on the planet. Growing inequality coupled with the breakdown of nation states, the menace of terrorism, sectarian violence, religious intolerance and a massive increase in migration pose a major threat to world stability and peace. In this well-researched and well-informed book, Peter Fieldman addresses some of the major issues facing the modern world, politically, morally and financially. He explores the strategies taken by different countries towards immigration, the environment, social and economic development and how this impacts us globally and within the EU. Fieldman also deals with the prevalent issues with the global banking system, taxation and the effects of the recession being suffered by many countries since 2007. While he is clear that there are no simple answers, Fieldman has plenty of ideas that get you thinking. This book contains passages which some people might find upsetting.
