From an internationally acclaimed economist comes a provocative call to jump-start economic growth by aggressively overhauling liberal democracy.

Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal democracy, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented economic headwinds-from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens. Hobbled by short-term thinking and ideological dogma, democracies risk falling prey to nationalism and protectionism that will deliver declining living standards.

In Edge of Chaos, Dambisa Moyo shows why economic growth is essential to global stability and why liberal democracies are failing to produce it today. Rather than turning away from democracy, she argues, we must fundamentally reform it. Edge of Chaos presents a radical blueprint for change in order to galvanize growth and ensure the survival of democracy in the twenty-first century.

Dambisa Moyo is a prize-winning economist and author of the New York Times bestsellers Winner Take All, How the West Was Lost, and Edge of Chaos. She was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time magazine. She is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times. She earned a PhD in economics from Oxford University and master's degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
