Synopsis:

A pocket-sized primer to the growing global movement for economic justice.
An accessible handbook for both activists and the uninitiated, Anti-Capitalism provides everything you need to know about the issues, actors, and events in the burgeoning global justice movement. Covering the full range of issues animating anti-corporate protests, including trade, environmental destruction, pharmaceutical patents, genetically modified food, war, and immigration controls, Anti-Capitalism explains why these movements have sprung up in opposition to corporate globalization.
Anti-Capitalism is organized as a handy field guide to widely-debated topics, regions of the world, and major players. Featuring a short encyclopedia of activist organizations, multinational agencies, and corporations, as well as a chronology of demonstrations and extensive resource guides for further investigation, Anti-Capitalism will appeal to anyone interested in the new movements that have contributed to the greatest upsurge in social protest since the 1960s.
Contributors: Arundhati Roy, Walden Bello, Robin D. G. Kelley, Vijay Prashad, Mike Davis, Lori Wallach, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Zapatista leader Subcommandante Marcos.
