«The daily shockwaves of war, poverty, environmental devastation, protest, and revolt leave many of us at a loss to understand, let alone take action against, capitalist globalization. This collection of superb essays provides a succinct framework to expose the contradictions of this process, the human cost of global capitalist expansion, and the mobilization of millions of people to confront the global empire.»
