Riz Ahmed

«This is the book I would have written if I were smart enough»

Richard Curtis

«Damluji's fast-paced, highly readable book is an important contribution to the literature on how to make globalization work better. Instead, of just spelling out problems with the world as we find it, he seeks to build a new consensus around a more effective global order. Full of historical examples and insights, this is a book about what to do right now if we are to have a brighter future»

Masood Ahmed, President, Center for Global Development, Washington, D.C.

«Damluji has trawled through the history of nations, as well as his own family, in constructing this fresh and highly original perspective on global politics. The result is a coherent manifesto that's provides some much-needed positivity at a time when the global system is under unprecedented strain. This book will revive in many people the belief that there is a path leading from where we stand today to a more cooperative world - if only we are bold enough to take it.»
