Globalization Unmasked by James Petras
Perhaps no word today is used and misused more than globalization. It generally serves to refer to worldwide epoch-defining changes in the organization of societies, economies and politics. But as Petras and Veltmeyer demonstrate, the term globalization obscures much more than it reveals.
‘A rich, revealing, and powerful exploration of the ideology of "globalization" and the free-market imperialism behind itA vital in-depth education for both advanced students and laypersons.‘ Michael Parenti, author of To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia 'Protestors at future WTO meetings will wave well-thumbed copies.'
