The Third Pillar

How Markets and the State Leave the Community Behind

Raghuram Rajan

In The Third Pillar, renowned economist Raghuram Rajan provides a thought-provoking analysis of the backlash against globalization and how it affects our politics. Rather than focusing solely on the relationship between markets and the state, Rajan argues that it's important to pay attention to the role of communities in economics. When we don't, we risk violent backlashes and populism. Rajan suggests that empowering local communities can be an antidote to growing despair and unrest. The book offers a wise, authoritative and humane explanation of the forces that have wrought such a sea change in our lives.
