Critics Review
“The clash that will really matter, contends Mark Malloch Brown in this admirable book, is between international co-operation and old-fashioned nationalism…With every international agreement to reduce poverty, regulate finance, combat terrorism or protect the environment, we may be moving, tortoise-like, towards the global revolution he advocates so eloquently.” — THE ECONOMIST“A personal, frontline view of the most pressing issues of our time…The Unfinished Global Revolution introduces a revolutionary ‘simple global social contract’ through which individuals, corporations, and governments can effectively cooperate and establish more powerful international institutions.” — THE DAILY BEASTWhat is attractive about Malloch Brown’s book is the combination of detail, authority and humility derived from decades of trying to make international co-operation work…What emerges is a nuanced and largely realistic picture, showing that building effective institutions involves political nous as well as multilateral pieties, Texas stubbornness as much as Washington suavity.” — THE FINANCIAL TIMES“Rich in both analysis and recommendations, Mark Malloch-Brown deploys his enormous talent and shrewd understanding of the forces that are shaping our world to argue for stronger, more inclusive global institutions. Drawing from a wealth of personal experience on the frontlines of world affairs, Mark’s book is authentic, compelling and immensely enjoyable. His message should resonate in national and international discourse for years to come.” — Kofi A. Annan, United Nations Secretary-General (1997-2006)
