Ian Bremmer’s new book is a “sobering examination” of the sudden rise of a new breed of government-directed capitalism, said Publishers Weekly. After first presenting a “whirlwind history” of market economies, Bremmer introduces readers to this new form—state capitalism—in which governments of countries like Russia, China, and Dubai aggressively “exert their influence over markets and big business.”
