Product Description
A great political debate is emerging over the many unexpected and profound consequences of the rush toward the global economy and its effects on jobs, human rights, cultural diversity, democracy, and the natural world. The world's political and corporate leaders are restructuring the planet's economic and political arrangements in ways that directly affect humans and the environment more than anything since the Industrial Revolution. New, giant globalizing institutions such as the World Trade Organization, GATT, and the World Bank, created with scant public debate or scrutiny, have moved real power away from citizen democracies and nation states to global corporate bureaucracies, with grave results.

The Case Against the Global Economy is the first comprehensive point-by-point analysis of the new global economy, its premise and its full social and ecological implications. The work gathers 43 leading economic, agricultural, cultural, and environmental experts who charge that free trade and economic globalization are producing exactly the opposite results from what has been promised. In the end, it is clear that we need to reverse course, turning away from globalization toward a revitalized democracy, local self-sufficiency, and ecological health. With an introduction by Jerry Mander and David C. Korten.

Essays include: Wendell Berry, "Conserving Communities"; Vandana Shiva and Radha Holla-Bhar, "Piracy by Patent: The Case of the Neem Tree"; Ralph Nader and Lori Wallach, "GATT, NAFTA, and the Subversion of the Democratic Process";William Greider, "Citizen GE"; Jeremy Rifkin, "New Technology and the End of Jobs"; Helena Norberg-Hodge, "The Pressure to Modernize and Globalize"; David Korten, "The Mythic Victory of Market Capitalism"; Kirkpatrick Sale, "Principles of Bioregionalism"; Herman E. Daly, "Free Trade: The Perils of Deregulation"; Richard Barnet and John Cavanaugh, "Homogenization and Global Culture";and Maude Barlow and Heather-jane Robertson, "Homogenization and Education," among many others.Amazon.com Review
"Economic globalization," writes Jerry Mander,"involves arguably the most fundamental redesign of the planet'spolitical and economic arrangements since at least the IndustrialRevolution. Yet the profound implications of these fundamental changeshave barely been exposed to serious public scrutiny or debate. Despitethe scale of the global reordering, neither our elected officials norour educational institutions nor the mass media have made a credibleeffort to describe what is being formulated or to explain its rootphilosophies." From which omission arises The Case Against theGlobal Economy.

The 43 essays in this collection comprise a point-by-point analysis ofglobalization and its consequences that demonstrates that the futuremay not be as bright as business leaders tell us. Among thehighlights: William Greider examines how General Electric works toshape (with the goal of controlling) the political arena; Ralph Naderand Lori Wallach attack NAFTA and GATT for undermining the sovereignauthority of democratic governments; and Wendell Berry looks at theconcerted efforts of big business to destroy local, particularlyrural, communities in order to plunder the environment withoutopposition. Several authors, including Satish Kumar, JeanetteArmstrong, and Kirkpatrick Sale, outline alternatives to the globaleconomy based on "bioregional" principles of localself-sufficiency. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars truth anyone?
If you ever question the handed reality that seems to be washed over, us humans, by politicians, television, and every other corporate sponsored bit of propaganda that fogs our vision of the true evil and money-motivated flesh of the global economy, then I highly recommend this book to you. It isn't some extremist's fashionable argument- it is the factual and documented description of an underground network, displayed full-view for any individual willing to sit down for a good, long read. But if the reader walks into it with a biased view and no open mind, then there is no hope, because the ignorant reader's reality is no longer what they make of it; it has already submitted to the shallow surface of a consumers money market, driven by the corporations, entitled by the politicians.

4-0 out of 5 stars More relevant than ever - try and find a copy!
I recently pulled this book back off my shelf and had a good look at it again while having a (polite) knock-down drag-out with Dr. John Lott, who recently published "Freedomnomics."The essays are all 12 years old now, of course, but seriously could have been written yesterday.Everything the critics predicted has begun to come to pass.In 2001, the author of "Naked Economics" (published 2002) claimed that all their fears had been "laid to rest" after ten years of NAFTA.Now it's 18 years since NAFTA and the economists, activists, and politicians who wrote essays for "The Case Against the Global Economy" look more prescient than ever.This is a book worth tracking down.I am glad it's in my library and wouldn't give it up.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Hard Truth - READ THIS BOOK
If you want the truth about what "develpment" and "technological progress" are doing to the environment and the rich, diverse, and independent cultures of the world, read this collection of articles by leading expoerts on the subject.
Then boycott all corporate products and services.There is no alternative.For if we continue working for the corporations, and buying from them, we can do no more to help them.
GLOBALIZATION DESTROYS ALL CULTURES

4-0 out of 5 stars Read the book and also the WTO agreements
I bought the book after reading Friedman's "The World is Flat". I am still struggling to find consistent answers related to global economy.
Now, the book is a must read therefore I give it 4 stars so people will buy it.
However, it shold be mandatory for everyone to compare those statements with the actual WTO agreements and the GATT (freely available at http://www.wto.org).
I treasured the book's articles good points, although I sensed some extreme takes. I do not like the ruthless, deregulated, trade ueber alles oriented world we are currently living in. Yet, statements like there is no mention of environmental issues are quite unfair. The very first lines of the WTO agreement include: "...seeking both to protect and preserve the environment and to enhance the means for doing so in a manner consistent with their respective needs and concerns at different levels of economic development...". That means to me that the intentions are in place; if somebody (corporations-controlled-governments) is actually amending those basic rules, then those entities are to be blamed.
And you will find many points of such reflections if you actually give the other side a chance.
Said that, I think that something still smells fishy (I jsut noticed that Saudi Arabia wasn't part of the deal until 2 weeks ago, what's up with that).
Be intellectually democratic and do yourself the favor of indulging the pleasure of this text along with some critical analysis.

5-0 out of 5 stars Rational arguments against the global economy
It's a shame a book like this is needed at all. We should have thought about this before we implemented our global economic system. Caught in an ever smaller web, countries are forced to compete for scarce resources, which are not the products of countries, but corporations. National sovereignties are destroyed. The environment is affected, since our economy judges our "goods" for value, rather than taking into account the environmental or emotional worth of something. Things become commodities and are prepackaged and sold back to us. For what? The question is something we should have asked before we allowed things to get this far. ... Read more

When the war stated again everyone in china had to deffend the great empire again, and the ones who deffend china get gold, and most of the worrier of china are old, if they had a son, the son can take their place in the battle field, and Mulan dad was old and handi-cap, so Mulan didn't want to lose her father cause of the war. She pray to the ancester that she promise to come back, and she cut her hair short and look like a man and took her father sword and his amor and her ancester brought a dragon to come along with her to protect her, and she ran off on a horse to the camp where the worriers of china be at.

When Mulan learns that her father has been drafted into Khan's army to fight the Tartars, she is shocked-her father is far too old and weak to go to war. She forms a brave plan, which she secretly forms. She asks her familys ancestors to guide her and they send her a small drangon that fits into the size of her palm to help her,and "At dawn she cut her hair short, put on her father's armor, and fastened his weapons to the horse's saddle."Mulan is excited and afraid, She studies the art of war, and becomes skilled with the sword. She passes the training test that no other man is traing camp could do.soon finds herself engaged in fierce combat with the Tartars. In an act of bravery her women hood is revealed... i won't tell you the ending! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars GREMLINS soundtrack on CD!!
A truly rare soundtrack to find on CD.A fan of film scores, I bought it for the Jerry Goldsmith half of the album.Sound quality is excellent.Goldsmith fans looking for great themes should not miss this one, once they get over the sticker shock.

3-0 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE, SOUNDTRACK FULL OF MEMORIES!!!
I love the gremlins theme, so funny a great theme created by Jerry Goldsmith composer of many soundtracks such as the pretty scary "THE OMEN" and with this soundtrack he does the opposite, is a very funny theme made with cheesy 80's synthetizers, but it holds the test of time.
A great soundtrack for a funny and little bit scary movie, at least that's what I felt back in 1984 when I was 8, Buy it!you will remember your chilhood with a smile the second you hear those funny synthetizers.
Priceless!!!
