«Notre première mondialisation: Leçons d'un échec oublié» is the economic history essay by Suzanne Berger (Seuil, paperback, 95 pages, in French).
The essay compares the first globalization (1870-1914) with the current one: the former was not irreversible, it left room for states to redistribute and create the welfare state, and an internationalist left tried to unite workers. World War I closed that cycle, with lessons for the present.
The work belongs to the La République des idées collection, published by Seuil, and was originally released in 2003.
For a general audience interested in economic history and the current debate on globalization.
Suzanne Doris Berger is an American political scientist. She is the Raphael Dorman and Helen Starbuck Professor of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and director of the MIT International Science and Technology Initiative. A leading authority in comparative politics and political economy, she has pointed to the centrality of politics in mediating and redirecting ostensibly transcendent forces, such as economic modernization and globalization.
