Description
Alex Callinicos explores the development of the anti-globalization movement in his thought-provoking analysis. He examines the different political forces within it and discusses the strategic dilemmas faced by those involved, including issues related to violence and the nation-state. Callinicos argues that the movement is fundamentally opposed to capitalism, citing its impact on global inequality, economic instability, and ecological catastrophe. He believes that a creative synthesis of the movement's inclusive style with the best of classical Marxist tradition is necessary to meet the challenge posed by global capitalism. This book offers a clear and concise exploration of the anti-capitalist perspective, making it an important read for those interested in understanding the complexities of contemporary social and economic issues.
