Title: Re: globalization text
Initially I put this on the wrong thread.

Here is a new book that seems exceptional.

Glasbeek, Harry. Wealth by Stealth: Corporate Crime, Corporate Law, and the Perversion of Democracy. (Toronto: Between the Lines, 2002). ISBN: 1-896357-41-5



I might be misremembering, but I think Robert Schaeffer's book, _Understanding
Globalization_ is actually pretty good. I think bright upper-division
undergraduates could get it pretty quickly, and it is good on geopolitics,
ecology, and economic questions. Thompson and Hirst's _Globalization in
Question_ is an excellent text if you want something that does severe damage
to globalization myths. The Held book is good too.

fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run
as causes, and they come back to us as effects." - Herman Melville]

merger of state and corporate power." Benito Mussolini]
