    Globalization and its Discontents

    In a world knitted ever tighter by the threads of commerce and capital, Globalization and Its Discontents pulls back the curtain on the uneven bargains and broken promises of the global economy. With piercing clarity and moral urgency, it chronicles how international institutions meant to uplift the poor instead deepen their despair, as policies crafted in distant boardrooms unravel the lives of millions. Can a system that claims universality serve justice when its power is so unequally distributed—and whose voice counts when nations rise or fall on decisions they did not choose? This is not merely a critique, but a plea—for accountability, for empathy, and for a new vision of global prosperity rooted in dignity rather than dominance. It is a story of ambition betrayed, and of the silent rebellions that ripple through the streets of the global South.
