The Sultan's Daughter by Ann Chamberlin

The Sultan's Daughter by Ann Chamberlin

A new movement is afoot that promises to save the world by applying the magic of the market to the challenges of social change. But in this hard-hitting, controversial expos , Michael Edwards shows that business is ill-equipped to attack the causes of poverty, inequality, violence, and discrimination. Achieving fundamental social transformation requires cooperation rather than competition, collective action more than individual effort, and support for long-term, systemic solutions instead of immediate results. With a vested interest in the status quo, business can promise only limited advances: small change. It's time to turn away from the false promise of the market and reassert the independence of global citizen action.

Chamberlin, Ann: - Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Ann Chamberlin also spent big blocks of time as a child in Europe where her father was visiting professor of mathematics, including two years as a teenager in Germany. Ann is the author of twenty books, mostly historical novels, many set in the Middle East, including a trilogy set in sixteenth-century Turkey. This trilogy, in translation, spent almost a year on the Turkish bestseller list. Her most recent publication is a memoir, CLOGS AND SHAWLS, about her grandmother's girlhood in Yorkshire, England. She has also written many plays, including JIHAD, which won the best off-off Broadway new play of 1996 and which received a production in Bogota, Colombia at a conference for theatre women for peace.
