A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Globalisation has become one of the most used and encompassing words over the past decade, of undeniable influence in economics, politics and activism. Globalisation is literally all around; every aspect of life is affected by a global structure of communication and economy. This fully revised and updated guide condenses this complex subject into clear, concise commentary. It examines the debt trap, the acceleration of neoliberalism, competition for energy resources, the links between the war on terror, the arms trade and the alternatives to corporate control.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Commercial culture and the Western consumer model have seeped into every corner of the globe while gaps in wealth, food security and social provision continue to grow. This No Nonsense Guide to Globalization acknowledges the seductive and powerful promise of a ’borderless‘ world but probes deeper to find a money-mad juggernaut, spinning wildly out of control, threatening both cultural and biological diversity. A stinging critique of the orthodoxy of economic growth in a world of finite natural resources and a blueprint for a new economic architecture.
