Why is a global movement
growing
against the WTO? When you cut through the corporate propaganda about
the benefits of globalization and really look at the 10 year track
record of the WTO what you'll find is a slow motion coup d'etat, a low
intensity war waged to redefine free society-democracy and its
non-commercial health, safety and other protections-as subordinate to
the dictates of big business.
Elite globalization
is driven by the big corporations seeking mainly to maximize profits.
Aided by the World Trade Organization, World Bank and IMF they force
countries to "open" their economies to penetration by foreign capital,
reduce and privatize state functions, deregulate the economy, and
submit everything to the rule of "market forces." Economic production
is increasingly disconnected from human needs; people are encouraged to
pursue an unsustainable pattern of resource consumption; and social
inequality increases.
Thus,
what we face
now is a race against time: How can we most effectively mobilize a
reversal of the expanding corporatized globalization agenda while we
defend our democratic spaces, instincts and institutions from further
assault? Step one: read this book and pass it on.
