This book examines the contemporary reaction against the establishment or 'the system' in terms of a new divide between those who wish to see an interconnected world, and those who seek distance through protectionism and opposition to immigration.

Christopher Steed is Visiting Fellow in the School of Management at the University of Southampton, UK, and the author of Smart Leadership - Wise Leadership: Environments of Value in an Emerging Future.
