A People's World Zusammenfassung

A People's World: Alternatives to Economic Globalization John Madeley

John Madeley has interviewed some of the world's most courageous campaigners and progressive thinkers, discovering their thoughts on globalization and what an alternative to it might look like. His interviewees include: Peggy Antrobus, Walden Bello, Barry Coates, Fiona Dove, Gustavo Esteva, Hazel Henderson, Francois Houtart, Martin Khor, David Korten, Caroline Lucas MEP, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Ann Pettifor, Devinder Sharma, Vandana Shiva, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz and many others. In doing so, Madelely strips bare the myth there are no alternatives to the present economic system. An inspiring and timely book of ideas and practical proposals for those campaigning for a world in which economic systems can benefit the poor, a world that is more just, humane, stable and conducive to the diversity of human cultures.

A People's World Bewertungen

Praise for Big Business, Poor Peoples (1999): 'Readable and persuasive?. A timely and cogent examination of transnational corporations, the engines that drive globalization.' New Internationalist 'An excellent book' African Farming 'A readable account of the increasing power of big businesses' Christian Aid News 'A sober and factual survey of a world economy dominated by big transnational corporations.' Socialist Review 'A grim account of exploitation and neglect.' Church Times 'A useful introductory critique of corporate involvement in developing countries... [which] leaves readers knowing they have a lot of work ahead.' Multinational Monitor 'John Madeley produces the evidence which show that TNCs are not working to benefit developing countries? A very easy, but disturbing, read.' International Agricultural Development 'Readers will be spurred to use their voices as consumers, investors and voters to resist the monopoly power of the new 'global apartheid', a system which sucks the labour out of people and discards the skins.' Canon Christopher Hall, Coordinator for One World in The Door Praise for Hungry for Trade (2000): 'Brings much useful information together [and] asks many fundamental questions.' African Book Centre Praise for Food For All (2002): 'John Madeley's demolition job on the structure of international trade and finance, and the work of WTO, is convincing. This book needs to be widely read.' Church Times 'Absorbing reading for anyone concerned about the risks of hi-tech farming methods.' Appropriate Technology
