The neo-liberal economic policies pursued by the Group of Seven leading industrial countries and the international institutions they control are provoking widespread resistance. Growing numbers of people in all five continents are rejecting the values of the market and the vision of a world made safe for the multinational corporations. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut what does the anti-globalization movement stand for? Is it, as its most common name suggests, against globalization itself? Is it opposed merely to the neo-liberal Washington Consensus that became dominant in the 1980s and 1990s, or is its real enemy the capitalist system itself? The World Social Forum at Porto Alegre has popularized the slogan ‘Another World is Possible’. But what is that world?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlex Callinicos seeks to answer these questions in \u003ci\u003eAn Anti-Capitalist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e. He analyses the development of the movement, distinguishes between the different political forces within it, and explores the strategic dilemmas – notably over violence and the nation-state – that it increasingly confronts. He argues that the movement is directed against capitalism itself. The logic of competitive accumulation that drives this system is not only increasing global inequality and economic instability, but threatens ecological catastrophe and appalling conflict. To meet the challenge of global capitalism the new protest movement requires, according to Callinicos, a creative synthesis of its own inclusive and dynamic style and the best of the classical Marxist tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction. \u003cp\u003eAn unscheduled event.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe revival of social critique.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNaming the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother unscheduled event.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Capitalism Against the Planet.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo What’s the Problem?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinancial Follies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Perpetual Motion Machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccumulation and Catastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Sword of Leviathan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 Varieties and Strategies\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVarieties of Anti-Capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReform or Revolution?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Imagining Other Worlds.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnti-Capitalist Values.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Note on Diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat’s Wrong with the Market?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy We Need Planning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Transitional Programme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52406587916568,"sku":"9780745629049","price":15.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745629049.jpg?v=1784140465","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/an-anti-capitalist-manifesto-paperback-softback-9780745629049","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
