Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars
The backlash against globalisation is not new, and the 1920s version ended extremely badly.
Tara Zahra follows the retreat from open borders and open trade after the First World War, across Europe and the United States, through immigration restriction, tariffs and the politics of self-sufficiency. The parallels with the present are left largely to the reader, and the range of countries covered is unusually wide.

Tara Zahra, Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars. A good book about anti-global sentiments in earlier times, most of all the 1920s, covering a broad span of countries, the flu pandemic, anti-Semitism, and gender.
