The Westernization of the World by Serge Latouche
This provocative new book argues that the rise of the West to world domination has brought widespread social, cultural and material destruction in its wake.
'In this intellectually sparkling and emotionally charged book, Serge Latouche criticizes the western model of civilization and development, which has become ever more pervasive in the wake of decolonizationSurveying the ruinous impact of westernization with a broad historical sweep and across continents, Latouche not only condemns its role in the deculturation and underdevelopment of the so-called 'Third World' but also highlights the possibilities offered, against all western theories, by the survival strategies of self-organizing marginalized communities.' Bob Jessop, Lancaster University
Serge Latouche is Professor of Political Economy at the University of Paris XI.
