Unequal Partners: A Primer on Globalization

We know that globalization has sent labor from industrialized countries to the Third World, where workers are paid far less. But do we know the effect of the global market on education, the spread of AIDS, and the costs of basic medicines? In clear detail,Unequal Partners shows how the merger of corporate and governmental interests has sacrificed public health and the environment for profits. The book also provides a blueprint for resistance by describing “globalization from below”: the coalition of movements that has been increasingly effective in influencing corporate and governmental behavior worldwide.Unequal Partners is for anyone who wants to understand how to keep the escalating forces of globalization in check.
