A study of contemporary anti-globalization movements

An Anti-Capitalist Manifesto by Alex Callinicos (Professor of Politics, University of York, England) is an informed and informative study of contemporary anti-globalization movements. Examining the crucial questions of whether protests against globalization are truly against the capitalist system itself, An Anti-Capitalist Manifesto also dissects the resistance to neo-liberal economic policies embraced by the seven leading industrial countries; makes a persuasive argument that protests worldwide are particularly anti-capitalism; and marks the possibility of synthesizing elements of Marxist tradition into a new world market system that offers more balance, stability, and well-being for all. An Anti-Capitalist Manifesto is a welcome and recommended addition to International Studies, Economic Studies, and Political Science reference collections and supplementary reading lists.
