Globalization & Its Discontents Explosive & shocking, the bestselling expose of the all-powerful organisations that control our lives. As Chief Economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz had an insider's view into the management of globalization. Now he speaks out against it: how the IMF & WTO preach fair trade yet impose crippling econonmic policies on developing nations; how free market 'shock therapy' made millions in Asia & Russia worse off than they were before; and how the West has driven the global agenda to further its own financial interests.
In Search of Fatima: A Palestinian Story (hardback) An intimate & powerful memoir, in which the Israel-Palestine conflict is presented from the point of view of a Palestinian woman. Ghada Karmi grew up as an exile when her family fled to London, and in the 1970s became a political activist, visiting the Middle East and meeting with PLO officials. This book is a reflection of the author's personal experiences of displacement, loss & nostalgia.
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy Greg Palast (Observer journalist at the heart of the 1998 'Lobbygate' exposé) reveals exactly how Bush stole the Presidency, how New Labour has prostituted itself to business, and how an alliance of fixers, criminals and idiot academics are making the world safe for international capital and very unsafe for human beings. As John Pilger says on the cover, 'This information is a hand-grenade'.
Duboetry A minibook of poetry from Merseyside's crucial, rhythmic, poetic consciousness-raiser & urban griot, Levi Tafari. 'His style is rhythmic & lyrical and has the ability to make you smile and to make you think' (says Henry Normal).
Steve and Me: My Friendship with Stephen Lawrence & the Search for Justice Duwayne Brooks was a victim of the same racist attack that killed his best friend, Stephen Lawrence. Unsure of his rights and treated more like a suspect than a victim by the authorities, Duwayne struggled to cope with Stephen's death on his own. In Steve and Me he remembers the friend he lost and attempts to come to terms with the attack and its aftermath. It is a raw, revealing, extraordinary story, and a shocking portrayal of the institutional racism of the the Metropolitan Police.
Evelyn: a True Story In 1953 lone father Desmond Doyle was desperate to have his six young children looked after while he found work in England - he trusted the word of the Dublin authorities, and put them all into temporary state care. But on his return he found that the State had consigned them to permanent care. So began a desperate battle with the government to reunite his family & change an unjust law. Evelyn, the eldest child (then nine years old), here tells the family's poignant story.
Hidden Connections In his new book the bestselling author of The Web of Life and Tao of Physics describes the unified systems that integrate the biological, cognitive and social dimensions of life and shows how understanding this will be vital to humanity's survival. As the new century unfolds two defining human developments - global capitalism and eco-design for sustainable communities - are set on a collision course. Our great challenge is to change the value system underlying the global economy before it's too late. Clearly, sanely, pragmatically, Fritjof Capra shows us how.
