Synopsis
John Madeley has interviewed some of the world's most courageous campaigners and progressive thinkers, discovering their thoughts on globalization and what an alternative to it might look like. His interviewees include: Peggy Antrobus, Walden Bello, Barry Coates, Fiona Dove, Gustavo Esteva, Hazel Henderson, Francois Houtart, Martin Khor, David Korten, Caroline Lucas MEP, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Ann Pettifor, Devinder Sharma, Vandana Shiva, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz and many others. In doing so, Madelely strips bare the myth there are no alternatives to the present economic system. An inspiring and timely book of ideas and practical proposals for those campaigning for a world in which economic systems can benefit the poor, a world that is more just, humane, stable and conducive to the diversity of human cultures.

Church Times

'A useful introductory critique of corporate involvement in developing countries... [which] leaves readers knowing they have a lot of work ahead.'
Multinational Monitor

'John Madeley produces the evidence which show that TNCs are not working to benefit developing countries? A very easy, but disturbing, read.'

'Brings much useful information together [and] asks many fundamental questions.'
