Globalisation: it's a buzzword you can't escape. For some it's the ticket to a democratic world of instant communications and global prosperity. For others it's a money-mad juggernaut, spinning wildly out of control, threatening both cultural and biological diversity. Today the Western consumer model has seeped into every corner of the globe while gaps in wealth, food security and social provision continue to grow. The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalisation traces the journey towards a borderless world. And in the process it shows that the promise of globalisation is seductive, powerful, and ultimately hollow. This book is a lucid explanatory map of our current condition. For all who seek to think past corporate slogans to life-responsible government, The No Nonsense Guide to Globalisation is a concise and valuable overview of the world system, what has gone wrong with it-and the way ahead. - John McMurtryAbout the Author:Wayne Ellwood joined the New Internationalist Magazine as editor in 1977 and set up the NI office in Toronto. He has traveled widely and edited issues on a wide range of topics, including most recently 'Redesigning the Global Economy' and 'Sustainability.'
