Neoliberal globalization was finally consolidated in the 1990s. Understanding how it works and what it threatens for the future has become a crucial necessity not only in the improvised South but also in the affluent North. The pathbreaking analyses collected in this book written as the globalization decade unfolded grasp the radical nature of globalization in a way still unmatched by orthodox commentaries not as a mere series of reforms but as a worldwide transformation of all aspects of life to conform with capitalism's ruthless logic. Cutting across academic disciplines the essays bring out the inter connectedness of globalization's multiple facets The world market in capital and the ascendancy of a new financial order New geographic and sectoral patterns of production founded on fast changing technologies The changing patterns of class including the implication of workers in the destruction of their own jobs as their pension funds are reinvested The inequalities and socially catastrophic crises inherent in the neoliberal economic programme The transformation of states into active agents involved in managing the globalization process at home and internationally and The futility of third way responses as would be progressive alternatives. The Globalization Decade challenges conventional wisdom both right and left. It is not a blueprint for an alternative world order but it shows the principles on which viable alternatives must be based the restoration of democratic control over investment and a radically new respect for the limits of the environment. 327 pp.…
