Globalism: The New Market Ideology rejects the notion that we find ourselves at the end of ideology and that democracy has won. Instead, Steger argues that the opening decade of the 21st century will constitute a teeming battlefield of clashing ideologies. The chief protagonist is the dominant neoliberal market ideology Steger calls "globalism." After identifying and evaluating the five central claims of globalism--including assertions that "globalization is inevitable," "nobody is in charge of globalization," and "globalization benefits everyone"--Steger offers an overview of the counterclaims made by anti-globalist forces.
