0745314228 Globalization In this clear and concise overview, Robert Went refutes the myth that globalization is an entirely new phenomenon and an unavoidable process. While recognising that globalization poses serious strategic challenges to progressive movements, he argues that these challenges are not insurmountable and that there is hope for real change. Viewing globalization in its historical perspective, Went argues that there can be no return to the postwar mode of expansion, but that the current trend must be altered. If it is not, he warns of greater social inequality, levelling down of wages, a deterioration of working conditions, life-threatening ecological disasters and a pervasive dictatorship of the market. To combat this scenario, Went challenges the left to rebuild social movements and offer a credible alternative. From reviews of the Dutch edition 'Went's greatest merit is that he proves on the one hand that globalization is not storming ahead as fast as many would have us believe; and on the other hand he shows that great societal changes are taking place. ' Onze Wereld (Amsterdam) 'Here is an author who understands the art of writing very clearly and accessibly for a broad public. ' Met Financiele Dagblad (Amsterdam) 'This sober analysis of the globalization phenomenon is very accessible. ' Financieel-Economische Tijd (Brussels) Robert Went is an economist, currently working as a researcher at the Faculty of Economics and Econometrics of the University of Amsterdam and for The Netherlands Court of Audit. Tony Smith is Professor of Philosophy at Iowa State University and the author of The Logic of Marx's Capital and Dialectical Social Theory and its Critics.

In clear and concise terms, Robert Went demythologizes globalization. He refutes the myth that globalization is an entirely new phenomenon and that it is an unavoidable process. While recognizing that it poses serious strategic challenges to the Left, he argues that these challenges are not insurmountable and that there is hope for advocating real change. Went puts globalization into its historical perspective. He shows that there is no option of returning to the postwar mode of expansion, but that the current trend must be altered. If not, he warns of greater social inequality, leveling of wages, worsening of working conditions, life-threatening ecological deterioration and a pervasive dictatorship of the market. To combat this rampant globalization, Went challenges the Left to rebuild its own movement and offer up a credible alternative. ISBN10: 0745314228.
