| Summary |
"This new, expanded edition of the international best-seller outlines the contours of a New World Order, which feeds on human poverty, destroys the environment, generates social apartheid, encourages ethnic strife, and undermines the rights of women. The result, as detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalization of poverty. Lucid explanation and cogently argued critique show where our world is moving financially and economically."--Publisher's description. |
