In 1998, British Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that ‘globalization is irreversible and irresistible.’ In this publication, the author Greg Buckman argues that economic globalization has never been an inevitable part of human history. He proceeds to persuasively articulate this in the first part of the book, ‘The Evolution and Consequences of Economic Globalisation’, where he provides a comprehensive overview of how globalisation came about. In the second part of the book ‘The Policy Alternatives of the Anti-Globalisation Movement’ he introduces and explains the alternatives of the anti-globalisation movement. Economic globalisation is necessarily connected to all the myriad issues covered by the anti-globalisation movement, but it deserves specific attention. This book attempts to give an informed hope to those dedicated to resisting and reversing economic globalisation, a hope based on real and viable positive alternatives.
