The Worlds Worst Bet: How the Globalization Gamble Went Wrong and What Would Make It Right is a 2025 nonfiction work by David J. Lynch, global economics correspondent for The Washington Post. The book examines the arc of modern globalization from the optimism of the 1990s to the present era of trade conflict, economic nationalism, and political anger. Lynch treats globalization not as a simple policy mistake or automatic success, but as a high stakes wager made by American leaders who expected open markets to deliver cheaper goods, wider prosperity, and geopolitical moderation. His central concern is why those gains were accompanied by factory closures, weakened communities, brittle supply chains, and a more formidable China. Combining economic history, political reporting, and accounts of workers and policymakers, the book aims to explain how a system designed to expand prosperity lost public legitimacy, and what changes might preserve useful global integration while reducing its social costs.
