Juggernaut Politics: Understanding Predatory Globalization

by Jacques B. Gélinas

The need for maximum labor flexibility in order to ensure competitiveness has replaced the old aim of making workers into productive allies and mass consumers. Jacques B. Gelinas' vivid text picks out the key elements of this new economic landscape, and explains why the owners and CEO's of this new transnational economy no longer need their traditional alliance with the state and the middle classes. He depicts governments, spellbound by the market, abandoning their obligations to defend civil society.

This is a good book about globalization. Gelinas tried to describe and analyze globalization with unusual approach,comparing to the "ordinary" leftist. The arguments are benign, but deadly !
One thing I have to say...this book is so suitable with "middle-class" reader fighting against globalization : concern with free trade, but not impulsive.

buku ini membahas tentang globalisasi.mulai dari sejarah merkantilisme, yang dijelaskan di awal secara singkat. organisasi-organisasi perdagangan dan finansial global juga dijelaskan di sini. selain itu, pada bagian terakhir penulis membahas tentang penolakan globalisasi dari berbagai belahan dunia. selain juga solusi atas ketimpangan global yang disebabkan oleh globalisasi.
