In this work, outspoken business leader Anita Roddick brings together the voices of some of the most prominent authorities on the phenomenon of Globalization, including Susan George, David Korten and Naomi Klein. Full of images, this book gets right to the heart of the issue, exploding the myths that would have us believe Globalization is a force for good. Covering aspects of the subject as diverse as human rights, the environment, international finance, health, the food we eat and trade, the book combines medium-length articles with quotes, case notes and interviews. This book constitutes a call to action, showing how each and every one of us can take on the corporate.… (mais)

A great and surprisingly radical analysis of world trade and the politics of neoliberalism and the movements that are countering this death machine. A potentially radicalizing primer for the budding anti-globalization activist.

The book looks gorgeous: a couple hundred or so pages of full color, glossy, image laden essays from heavy hitters in the anti-globalization movement of the latter half of the nineties/early oh-ohs.

This book is just a first step, as the "what you can do" portion of the book is rooted in a liberal lifestylist mindset, and is pretty weak, in comparison to its strength of debunking the (now nearly defunct) assumptions of neoliberal globalization.

Anita Roddick, the author, was the founder and CEO of The Body Shop, a store with surprisingly good politics for what a yuppie hole it is. She participated in the anti-globalization movement, putting her body on the gears at Seattle and other movement milestones. (

Epígrafe

Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil disobedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience..... Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem. (Howard Zinn)

Dedicatória

Dedicated to the activists, the grassroots organizations, the thought leaders and the alternative media who challenge the myth of the global economy and especially to Tony Clarke (Director of Polaris Institute in Canada) from whom I first heard the challenge "Take it Personally." Also to Ralph Nader, whose sense of the possibility of citizenship has been an inspiration to all of us.

I have devoted most of my working life to finding new ways of doing business, and the last ten years at least looking for ways for business to take a lead in making the world a better place.
