His 1997 bookHas Globalization Gone Too Far? was called "one of the most important economics books of the decade" inBloomberg Businessweek.
In his article, he focused on three tensions between the global market and social stability. Pointing out that the so-called "globalization" has a dilemma of promoting international equality while exposing fault lines between the nation states with the skills and capitals to succeed in global markets and those without that advantage, he sees the free market system as a threat to social stability and deeply domestic norms.[10] In 2000, Rodrick coined thepolitical trilemma of the world economy.[11]
