"The issue of globalization - its promises, and more often, its shortcomings - commands worldwide attention. Recent events illuminate the dark side of globalization and underscore the urgent need to redesign its basic principles. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, are one in a series of crises that have shaken the foundations of the global order. The rise of strong antiglobalization movements around the world, the deteriorating global economy, including America's own economic turbulence, and an ever-growing distrust of powerful multinational corporations in the face of catastrophic mismanagement, symbolized by Enron and WorldCom, dramatize the failure of globalization. For a safe and economically secure future, Charles Derber argues in People Before Profit that we must debunk the myths about our current form of corporate-led globalization and reorient ourselves on a more democratic path."--BOOK JACKET.
