Depictions of globalization commonly recite a story of a market unleashed, bringing Big Macs and iPhones to all corners of the world. Human society appears as a passive observer to a busy revolution of an invisible global market, paradoxically unfolding by its own energy. Sometimes, this market is thought to be unleashed by politicians working on the surface of an autonomous state. This book rejects both perspectives and provides an analytically rich alternative to conventional approaches to globalization. By the 1980s, an enduring corporate coalition advanced in nearly synonymous terms free trade, tax cuts, and deregulation. Highly networked corporate leaders and state officials worked in concert to produce the trade policy framework for neoliberal globalization. Marshalling original network data and a historical narrative, this book shows that the globalizing corporate titans of the late 1960s aligned with economic conservatives to set into motion this vision of a global free market.

This timely and important book examines the political and symbolic unraveling of neoliberalism through the unexpected lens of global trade. Long hailed as a driver of growth and integration, trade became, after 2008, a flashpoint for reactionary populism. Donald Trump’s rise to power exemplifies this shift: channelling economic insecurity into nationalism, xenophobia, and authoritarian spectacle. His use of tariffs redefined trade not as policy, but as performance—projecting strength, coercing allies, and bypassing multilateral norms. This book goes beyond surface narratives to explore the deeper transformations in global capitalism. It situates the rise of Trumpism within broader shifts toward authoritarian capitalism, exposing the cracks in neoliberal consensus and the failures of technocratic globalization. Trade politics, once the domain of corporate centrism, became a cultural and geopolitical battlefield.Drawing from Marxist theory, Polanyian insights, and Piketty’s analysis of inequality, the book maps the global arc of economic dislocation, elite realignment, and democratic crisis. At its core, Global Trade Shocks asks: what happens when trade becomes a weapon of authoritarian and imperial reaction? Rich in interdisciplinary perspective, the book speaks to scholars of political economy, international relations, globalization studies, and sociology—while offering essential insights into the contested futures of democracy, global trade, and post-neoliberal possibility.
