Pop Internationalism
by Paul Krugman, 1996
Pop Internationalism is a book written by Paul Krugman, an American economist, to sweep away the clichés about globalization, what he calls "pop culture". Pop Internationalism was written to be understood not only by the most experienced economists but also by the general public.
​
In Pop Internationalism, "pop" means "popular" and designates a popular and dominant ideology in society. This "pop culture" denounces globalization as the scourge of the 20th century due to relocations, leading to growing unemployment, especially since the crisis that began in July 2007. In Pop Internalism, Paul Krugman desacralizes the arguments against globalization.
