The clash that will really matter, contends Mark Malloch Brown in this admirable book, is between international co-operation and old-fashioned nationalism With every international agreement to reduce poverty, regulate finance, combat terrorism or protect the environment, we may be moving, tortoise-like, towards the global revolution he advocates so eloquently. <b>THE ECONOMIST</b> A personal, frontline view of the most pressing issues of our time <i>The Unfinished Global Revolution</i> introduces a revolutionary simple global social contract through which individuals, corporations, and governments can effectively cooperate and establish more powerful international institutions. <b>THE DAILY BEAST</b> What is attractive about Malloch Brown s book is the combination of detail, authority and humility derived from decades of trying to make international co-operation work What emerges is a nuanced and largely realistic picture, showing that building effective institutions involves political nous as well as multilateral pieties, Texas stubbornness as much as Washington suavity. <b>THE FINANCIAL TIMES</b> Rich in both analysis and recommendations, Mark Malloch-Brown deploys his enormous talent and shrewd understanding of the forces that are shaping our world to argue for stronger, more inclusive global institutions. Drawing from a wealth of personal experience on the frontlines of world affairs, Mark s book is authentic, compelling and immensely enjoyable.
