Unholy Trinity by Richard Peet
and WTO were twisted from their original mandates to serve the interests of corporate globalization.' - John Cavanagh
'Seattle, Genoa and Prague have etched the centrality of the IMF, the IBRD and the WTO into our consciousnessUnholy Trinity charts the contours and the reach of these global regulatory institutions and how they serve as a fortress for the prevailing neoliberal theory of globalization.' Michael Watts, University of California 'This is a great book.' David Harvey, City University of New York '...offers a fruitful approach, through sophisticated and clearly articulated arguments in the chapters, to integrating the role of economic ideas with that of material interests in analyzing the international sponsorship of neoliberal globalization.' ANNALS of the Association of American Geographers 'Unholy Trinity provides an important history lesson of how the IMF, World Bank, and WTO were twisted from their original mandates to serve the interests of corporate globalization.' John Cavanagh, co-author of Alternatives to Economic Globalization: A Better World is Possible 'This is a terrific book...It is politically committed, theoretically sophisticated, analytically incisive, empirically rich, thoroughly engaged, and full of devastating one-liners that greatly enliven its reading. The energy of the book is reminiscient of that in a live performance by a group of highly talented musicians...The detail contained in the chapters on the IMF, World Bank, and WTO is highly revealing and an enormous strength of the book. Its framing by a carefully considered and coherently applied way of thinking critically is exemplary, and the innovative way in which the book was produced shows, in all sorts of positive ways, in its content. Resistance necessarily involves collaboration, and this book demonstrates such a maxim extraordinarily well.' Roger Lee, Economic Geography
