The case against the global economy
It would have been better to read this book a dozen or more years ago. A lot of what the various authors wrote about, while interesting and important at the time, is not as relevant now in the age of terror lists, an increasingly accepted police state in the US, and the rule of the 1%. There are some bright spots out there but Clinton moved the Democratic Party to be Republican-light and things have been going downhill since then for the left. But that's just the US, right. Hardly. The almighty dollar and the WTO ensures what's good for business is what happens and terror watch means major protests are not always welcome. We had the Occupy movement which was strong for a while but, as with most movements not backed by billions of Koch brothers money, ultimately fizzled. There was some hope but hope can only sustain for so long. Anyway, I like a lot of the authors but the stories are a bit dated. They could be updated, unfortunately, very easily and expanded upon, though.
