Globalization Myth

Globalization -- scourge of indigenous peoples, arch-enemy of protesters from Seattle to Genoa, crusade of the Orwellian IMF, WTO and G8: the new evil stalking the globe. Right? Wrong. In this radical new book Alan Shipman turns the myths about globalization upside down. The protesters are right to see globalization as important and potentially dangerous -- but almost always wrong in their diagnosis of the problems and their prescriptions to solve them. Globalization is a potential force for good -- and for the benefit of all.
