The Case Against the Global Economy "The Case Against the Global Economy" is the first comprehensive, point-by-point analysis of the global economy, its premises, and its social and environmental implications. The work gathers 43 leading economic, agricultural, and environmental experts who charge that free trade and economic globalization are producing exactly the opposite results from what has been promised.

Review:

'The arguments for community self-sufficiency and the strenghtening of the 'social economy' at local level give the necessary positive spin to the book, helping to ensure its message survives the months and years to come.' The Food Magazine
