Description
Book SynopsisDemonstrates the profound effect of globalization on relations between the state, civil society, and markets, as well as on collective and individual rights.
Trade Review"The French philosopher and activist, Jean Rostand, said: "It is horrible to see everything one detested in the past coming back wearing the colours of the future." Dorval Brunelle's wonderful new book explains how economic globalization has erased the international consensus for justice that emerged out of the horrors of World War II and exposes this new system for the regressive force it really is. - Maude Barlow, National Chairperson, Council of Canadians"
