Globalization and Its Discontents, (Paperback)

from Acia

This book is necessary and important for its critical insight of powerful institutions, governments and players. Having lived in Latin America for many years, I've experienced first hand the consequences of disastrous policies.

from Saltvand

Fairly subjective and self-righteous, but does make valid points.

from rajaratnam

An independent thinker in global economic policies. Highlights how IMF damages the economies of emerging nations through its nostrums. The latter reflect the stances of US Treasury. It all seems part of program of global control.

from jftouma

Well written, informative, remained interesting until the very end. Written more as a critique of the IMF as a stubborn and pedantic organization that is not flexible enough to adapt policies to local situations. Doesn't dive too deep into remedies for the challenges like the IMF faces, as I thin...

from vixen666

This book is important. Every member of all western governments should be required to summarise its arguments before they can take office.
