Yet there have been consistent warning signs that a global economy and free trade might not always be advantageous. Where are the pressure points? What could be done about them? Dani Rodrik examines the back-story from its seventeenth-century origins through the milestones of the gold standard, the Bretton Woods Agreement, and the Washington Consensus, to the present day. Although economic globalization has enabled unprecedented levels of prosperity in advanced countries and has been a boon to hundreds of millions of poor workers in China and elsewhere in Asia, it is a concept that rests on shaky pillars, he contends. Its long-term sustainability is not a given. The heart of Rodrik''s argument is a fundamental ''trilemma'': that we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization.

It shouldn’t have. Since this century’s turn, epidemiologists have warned of new infectious diseases. Indeed, H1N1, H7N9, SARS, MERS, Ebola Makona, Zika, and a variety of lesser viruses have emerged almost annually. But what of the epidemiologists themselves? Some bravely descended into the caves where bat species hosted coronaviruses, including the strains that evolved into the COVID-19 virus. Yet, despite their own warnings, many of the researchers appear unable to understand the true nature of the disease—as if they are dead to what they’ve seen.  Dead Epidemiologists is an eclectic collection of commentaries, articles, and interviews revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight truth behind the pandemic: Global capital drove the deforestation and development that exposed us to new pathogens. Rob Wallace and his colleagues—ecologists, geographers, activists, and, yes, epidemiologists—unpack the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From deepest Yunnan to the boardrooms of New York City, this book offers a compelling diagnosis of the roots of COVID-19, and a stark prognosis of what—without further intervention—may come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafting in real time a political-economic ecology of pandemics in the age of climate change and agribusiness. — Edgar Rivera Colón, coauthor, Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine \/\/ This is a book of truth, that kind that sets us free by cutting through the bindings of lies and ignorance. In this moment of cascading crises, it is necessary to find the truth, which is never what’s on the surface. We are fortunate, indeed, that Rob Wallace has been preparing for now, plunging into subjects as varied as ecology and political economy so that he can articulate the scope of our problems. That he can see the truth is amazing. That he can write about it with grace and humor eases the shock of seeing the real through the haze of our false consciousness. Read this book as if your life depended on it, because it does. — Mindy Thompson Fullilove, author, Main Street: How a City’s Heart Connects Us All \/\/ Name one other epidemiologist who knows his N.K. Jemisin as well as his Gramsci and Arrighi, who understands the broad colonial relations of corporate capitalism as well as the detailed “epizoological perversities” of the factory farm—and who can write about it all with such perfect, pissed-off, punk-rock eloquence and fury. In his brilliance and in the extraordinary depth, range, and courage of his thinking, Rob Wallace is unique. From the plantation-era roots of the contemporary horseshoe-crab-blood-mining industry—yeah, you read that right—to the reproductive cycle of the Chinese horseshoe bat, Dead Epidemiologists makes sense of the COVID-19 pandemic like no other work I’ve encountered anywhere, as a disease that exists in and arose out of the globalized dystopia in which we already live. This is radical thinking in the very best sense: Wallace is unwilling to accept the rigged and homicidal terms of the world we’ve been given. He insists on no less than the birthing of a new one, or better yet, a return, in solidarity, humility, and love, to the planet that we already have.— Ben Ehrenreich, author, Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time \/\/ If Big Farms Make Big Flu was an eye-opener, Dead Epidemiologists has taken the analysis to a completely different level of sophistication. The breadth and depth of issues considered with authority and perspicacity in the new collection of essays makes this book essential reading. It is also a devastating critique of the failures of mainstream epidemiologists. The scientific literature on COVID-19 and other pandemics largely ignores the role of capitalist production as “a causal factor in the production of invasive species.” This book sets the context for understanding how neoliberal capitalism is generating its own nemesis and threatening the annihilation of billions of people. But it also shelters hope in the organising capacity of peasant and small farmer movements. This book deserves to be in everyone’s hands. — Firoze Manji, host, Organising in the Times of COVID-19, Daraja Press","brand":"Monthly Review Press,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740542447959,"sku":"9781583679036","price":66.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-violence-of-financial-capitalism-volume-2-9781584351023","title":"The Violence of Financial Capitalism: Volume 2","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Autonomedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740547494231,"sku":"9781584351023","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781584351023.jpg?v=1720054988"},{"product_id":"controversies-in-globalization-contending-approaches-to-international-relations-9781608717958","title":"Controversies in Globalization: Contending","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebate style readers can be powerful teaching tools, but they are only effective in so far as the readings really speak to one another.

By examining the rhetoric and reality of knowledge-driven growth over the last three decades, the book highlights the flawed assumptions underpinning this policy agenda, showing how its economic shortcomings map on to patterns of political discontent evident today.

The pandemic has demonstrated how we rely on those who can’t work from home on laptops – the providers of utilities, services, care, food, health – and this book proves the need to revalue what they do, and to spread the wealth from knowledge economy beneficiaries to people and places left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Polly Toynbee, columnist, The Guardian\u003cbr\u003eThe progressive goal of rising incomes and declining inequality has eluded governments across the developed world in recent decades and Nick O'Donovan provides a thoughtful and challenging account of how the third way 'knowledge economy' consensus failed to live up to its high expectations.

It discusses the historical developments in governance preceding globalization, the diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to globalization, and analyzes underdevelopment, anti-globalization movements, global poverty, global inequality, and the debates on international trade versus protectionism. Finally, the volume looks to the future and provides prospects for inter-civilizational understanding, rapprochement, and global cooperation. This will be of great interest to academics and students of sociology, social anthropology, political science and international relations, economics, social policy, social history, as well as to policy makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Introduction: Globalization and the Millennial Ascent of Individual Rights; Ino Rossi.- PART I.

Scholars have often addressed these models from separate disciplinary standpoints. National citizenship has been studied through the prism of citizenship studies and EU citizenship from an EU studies viewpoint. To contribute to their ongoing discussion and offer a politically embedded perspective, Siklodi applies the citizenship studies lens to the analysis of EU-wide survey data and original focus group evidence of young and highly educated EU mobiles and stayers in Sweden and Britain. Specifically, she investigates political community building processes, including processes of differentiation and exclusion, and the dimensions of citizenship – identity, rights and participation – at the national and EU levels. Siklodi proposes a redefinition of the active\/passive citizen dichotomy in terms of mobiles\/stayers to provide a more accurate description of contemporary citizen attitudes and behaviours across the European community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: what’s going on?
