Anti-Capitalism: A Beginner's Guide

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A beginner's guide to global anti-capitalist movements, now fully updated to take into account the current state of the economy.

---

Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from WOMBLES to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle, and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet.
