About this Item

In many circles globalisation is treated as an inevitable trend that reflects long-term economic cycles As a result of this determinism persons are told that they must adapt or suffer the social consequences of marginalization The editors of this book on the other hand take seriously the invocation of many protestors nowadays that another world is both necessary and possible The world must change dramatically if everyone is going to prosperInstead of adapting the editors believe that persons should invent another parallel social reality that enables persons while borrowing from Latin American activists to live wellThe point is that persons - all persons - should be able to work together in a non -exploitative manner so that they can create a world where their needs and aspirations guide development In short a utopian spirit underpins this book 286 pp.
