description: A book that was ahead of its time has now been brought up to date with a new Preface that covers the latest developments in economic the defeat of "fast track" legislation, efforts to halt GATT and MAI, and the recent Asian economic crisis. In clear, accessible language, Brecher and Costello describe how people around the world have started challenging the New World Economy. From the Zapatistas in Mexico to students and workers in France, even the broad-based anti-NAFTA and anti-GATT coalitions in the United States, opposition to economic globalization is becoming a worldwide revolt. Global Village or Global Pillage is the best guide available to globalization and how to challenge it. It is currently the basis of a film in production for public broadcasting on the impact of globalization and strategies for building democratic movements that challenge the power of the transnational corporations that increasingly set the terms around the world.
