Free Markets and Food Riots: The Politics of Global Adjustment (Studies in Urban and Social Change)

Reseña del editor:

Over almost two decades, mounting Third World debt and global economic restructuring have produced a phenomenon unique in world history: the austerity protests - or "IMF riots" - which have arisen in cities from the Middle East to Latin America in response to the deprivations of austerity policies. "Free Markets and Food Riots" traces the rise of this phenomenon against the broad background of the Third World debt crises and assesses the consequences of protest.
