The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order Book

In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovsky's international bestseller, the author outlines the contours of a New World Order which feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the environment, generates social aparthied, encourages ethnic strife, and undermines the rights of women. The result, as his detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalization of poverty. This book is a skilful combination of lucid explanation and cogently argued critique of the fundamental directions in which our world is moving financially and economically. In this second edition, which includes ten new chapters, the author reviews the causes and consequences of famine in the Third World, the dramatic meltdown of financial markets, the demise of state social programs and the devastation resulting from corporate downsizing and trade liberalisation.Read More
