‘An Inspiring collection of stories about people who are creating economic alternatives on the ground. Their work and their lives are a sign of hope for us all.’Susan George, author of The Lugano Report'There is no better way to understand globalization than to listen to the voices and pain of the globalized, and to scrutinize the discourse and wealth of the globalizers. This collection furthers our understanding and debunks notions of neutrality or resignation in the face of globalization.'Alejandro Bendana, Jubilee South'When the advocates of globalization declare “there is no alternative”, they ignore a few billion people who are building alternatives in their own communities around the world. To learn their inspiring story, read this exciting book.'Jeremy Brecher, author of Strike and Globalization from Below
