From the Inside Flap
tical debate is emerging over the many unexpected and profound consequences of the rush toward the global economy and its effects on jobs, human rights, cultural diversity, democracy, and the natural world. The world's political and corporate leaders are restructuring the planet's economic and political arrangements in ways that directly affect humans and the environment more than anything since the Industrial Revolution.

The Case Against the Global Economy is the first comprehensive point-by-point analysis of the new global economy, its premise and its full social and ecological implications. The work gathers 43 leading economic, agricultural, cultural, and environmental experts who charge that free trade an|"A provocative and welcome counter-argument to the conventional wisdom that economic gobalization is in the best interests of mankind."--Orville Schell, Dean, Graduate School of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley
