Reviews

'Penetrating analysis... crisp and simple language... as revealing as it is succinct... an effective antidote to the mood of resignation before the omnipotence of transnational business institutions which pervades the political discourse of our times.' David Montgomery, The Nation; 'Popular in style... packed with memorable titles [and] subtitles... offers a thought-provoking and easily-read alternative. In the face of economic reductionism and market fundamentalism, this suggests not only a political but an ethical agenda.' Development and Change; 'This book is much more than a critique of the new economic world order. It's a practical guide for action for those who want to think globally and work locally on the economy, trade, and the environment.' Elaine Bernard, director, Harvard University Trade Union Program; 'Brecher and Costello's critique of the current drift of the world economy is devastating, but the greatest value of their book is to depict an emerging politics of grassroots resistance that creatively opens up a new range of radical possibilities.' Richard Falk, professor of International Law, Princeton University
