Living in Hope: People Challenging Globalization

This book tells of the response of people around the world to the force of the global economy. It chronicles attempts to create alternatives by those for whom globalisation has no need including: small farmers in Honduras, migrant workers in the Andes, urban poor in Bosnia, Cambodian woodcutters, Mexican textile workers, Korean non-governmental organisation (NGO) activists, Vietnamese government officials, etc.

From the summary ..."John Feffer prefaces this... collection with a clear and concise history of how the globalized economy came into being, what it means today, and the challenges which are now emerging to confront this unprecedented concentration of power which now rests in the hands of an elite group of countries, corporations and institutions, led by the United States."
