Globalization drives the "structuration" of our societies
and people protest in Seattle or Prague, but what is this globalization
and why is it bad?
-
Economists and protesters talk with one another, but nobody understand
each other.
-
Numerous observers criticize the globalization movement or better movement
for global justice of having no alternative.
-
Aware people want to join the movement, but are unable to find their way
of working for a better world.
My book tries to answer this questions and a
little bit more. Our so called globalization movement need a connection
to the debate at the universities, and we have to proof that neo-classical
economists are wrong, when they argue for their "efficient free trade."
