by John McMurty (Introduction), Wayne Ellwood (Author)
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.
