About this title: In WORLD ON FIRE, Chua, a professor at Yale Law School, grapples with the myth that free markets work to spread wealth, instead arguing that they serve only to define and bolster the monied classes. Examining economic and political conditions in Africa, Asia, and South America, Chua examines how this distribution of wealth inflames lines of conflict within countries and across the globe.

"Very interesting thesis on the violence that erupts when the majority population controls the government and a minority population controls the economics."
"This is sort of a nice contrast to Friedman's happy views of globalization. The opening story about class resentment resulting from globalization still haunts me."
"This was a very well done scholarly work. She makes sure to note that her thesis is just a trend and doesn't apply in all situations or explain all conflict but that it does do a lot of work and explain a lot of phenomena. That is a very smart route to go on when presenting political theories. I came away from the book very convinced that the ways in which the United States is trying to export democracy and free markets is doing more damage than good. We must learn the virtue of patience and moderate the way we deal in foreign policy with developing nations. It helped me see the world in a very different way and it made clear to me that we must find a different way to spread liberty and democracy throughout the world."
