The Big Book of Losers

“The Big Book of Losers” tells the tales of real people who were forced to endure a damned existence. Exploring the unfortunate adventures of those who could not catch a break, this amazing reference book documents the stories of people who have lost in life, sports, business, and politics. From President Garfield, who died after several incompetent doctors turned a small bullet wound into a huge, festering malady to General Custer and the woman who burned her husband’s life savings in the oven, this tome shows that some people are just destined to come out on the bottom.

Beautiful Losers is a novel by Leonard Cohen. Published in 1966 by McClelland and Stewart, it was the Canadian novelist-poet's second novel, and precedes his career as a singer-songwriter. It is noted as being perhaps Cohen's most defiant and uninhibited work,[citation needed] and is also one of the best-known experimental novels to be published during the 1960s.

"I don't expect this book to settle the debates over globalization: there is too much real uncertainty about the issue, and anyway there are too many people firmly committed to their views to be shaken by any argument or evidence. But perhaps Mr. De la Dehesa's excellent book can lower the temperature and give us all a better sense of what this new global economy is really all about." Paul Krugman, from the Foreword to Winners and Losers in Globalization

Seeking reason in the impassioned globalization debate, de la Dehesa examines who stands to win and who stands to lose from the process of globalization, in a style accessible to readers unfamiliar with economic theory.

  • Objectively and dispassionately illuminates the emotionally charged globalization debate;
  • Acknowledges that the costs and benefits of globalization will not be distributed evenly;
  • Details the economic effects of globalization on individuals, governments, nation-states and business;

Assesses the impact of globalization on both labor markets and financial markets, on global economic growth and on income distribution and real convergence between different national economies.
