New NDN White Paper - The Rise of the Rest: How New Economic Powers are Reshaping the Globe

Today, NDN President Simon Rosenberg sent out the following email announcing the release of a new NDN white paper entitled The Rise of the Rest: How New Economic Powers are Reshaping the Globe.

Over the course of the last two decades, the global economy has changed dramatically. New regions, nations, businesses, and people have risen up to join the global economy in a manner that has begun to shift the very foundation of international relationships. This phenomenon, which we at NDN, inspired by Fareed Zakaria, describe as the "Rise of the Rest," is one of the most consequential developments of the early 21st century. 

Jake Berliner, Deputy Policy Director of the NDN Globalization Initiative, has authored a white paper describing this phenomenon and its impact in shaping the modern global economy. The paper, entitled The Rise of the Rest: How New Economic Powers are Reshaping the Globe, argues that the Rise of the Rest is not reason to fear American decline, but that it should instead be both cause for optimism about the future of the American and global economies and incentive for America to rise to this great challenge.

The paper is Jake's second in a series of targeted white papers highlighting particularly important pieces of the ongoing economic debate. It follows A Lost Decade for Everyday Americans, an essay released in December that helped set the "Lost Decade" narrative. The essay made the case, central to understanding the ongoing economic downturn, that economic hardship arrived for everyday Americans long before the Great Recession began.

Simon Rosenberg
