Climate scientist and green activist David Cromwell examines how and why the forces of globalization are opposing ecological sustainability, human rights, and social justice, and draws on examples from around the world to show what we can do to reverse the process. He makes the point that centralized state and corporate power is vulnerable to significant grassroots awareness and activism. There is ample cause for hope and cautious optimism.

Format:Paperback
Why have the G8 talks become a major focus for such a huge body of campaigners protesting on a wide variety of issues? Why is free trade not supported by fair trade campaigners? How free are our news media?
This meticulously researched book clearly explains why globalisation is such a threat to our social and environmental (and ultimately economic) future. It also discusses why our so-called 'free press' is overwhelmingly biased in favour of globalisation, despite the massive body of evidence that indicates that our climate and society are in deep trouble.
This book is jam-packed with information, yet it is easy and engaging to read. It is ideal for a both the novice who wants to learn about the issues intrinsic to globalisation and for the well-versed campaigner who wants high quality information to back up their case. Furthermore, and fervant globalisation supporter should test their arguments against the compelling evidence sent out in this book.
