The Global Industrial Complex: Systems of Domination
At a time when it is increasingly more difficult to find insightful and   accessible work challenging the structural and ideological foundations   of neoliberal economic savagery,The Global Industrial Complex: Systems of Dominationprovides a key resource for such a task. This is a wide ranging and   thoughtful book that not only critically analyzes the deepening and   myriad forms of global market authoritarianism but also offers the   theoretical tools to challenge it. A must read for anyone concerned   about the promise of a real democracy and the economic, political, and   cultural forces subverting it.—  Henry Giroux, McMaster University and author of Beyond the Spectacle of  Terrorism: Global Uncertainty and The Challenge of the New MediaAn excellent, well-researched, and richly informed compendium on the   nature of global exploitation and power, a nourishing corrective to  the  vapid evasions we are usually fed.— Michael Parenti, author of The Face of Imperialism (2011) and God and His Demons (2010)Human society is organized in a way that privileges a tiny minority at   the expense of the vast majority of humanity and to the detriment of the   entirety of the non-human world. With this collection, Best, Kahn,   Nocella, and McLaren intervene in that and ask the question: 'Might   things be done another way?' The answer, of course, is a resounding   'Yes!' Read this book and join us in creating a world free of the   constraints placed on us by domination in all of its myriad forms!— Deric Shannon, co-author of Political Sociology: Oppression, Resistance, and the StateWith capitalism battering the Third World and forcing the First World to   lower its expectations of opportunity, human rights and a future,   getting an unflinching, intelligent look at so-called recessions,   superprofits and resistance is needed more than ever. Who better to   illuminate politics, social movements and finance than this   constellation of authors? None better can present matters of such   urgency as accessibly or sharply— Ernesto Aguilar, Program Director, KPFT, Pacifica RadioIn this book, leading American radical scholars provide important   insights into interlocking networks of power under global capitalism.   This fine collection of essays is a useful tool for those seeking to   understand and alter the corporate structures that dominate our world.— John Sorenson, Chair, Department of Sociology, Brock UniversityThis penetrating, insightful book written by a collection of the world's   most prominent public intellectuals, is a skilled combination of lucid   explanation and cogently argued critique of what the contributors term   the 'global industrial complex'. The authors combine scholarship with   insight, erudition with moral passion as they critique the fundamental   direction in which our world is moving financially, politically and   economically. The conclusions are radical and profound. No activist,   academic or student can afford to ignore their arguments.—  Susan L. Thomas, Director, Gender and Women's Studies; Associate  Professor, Gender and Women's Studies and Political Science, Hollins  UniversityThe Global Industrial Complexmakes an immense contribution to   the literature by engaging the key thoughts and ideas of some of the   most important, influential and outspoken public intellectuals of our   time. In doing so the book provides not only a searing and devastating   critique of contemporary ‘capitalist' society, but also engages in a   full frontal assault on the poverty of imagination evident in those who   refuse to believe that there are real alternatives, and that active   resistance is necessary to achieve them. It deserves to be read  widely.— Richard White, editor of the Journal for Critical Animal Studies
