Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Globalization, surely one of the most used and abused buzzwords of recent decades, describes a phenomenon that is typically considered to be a neutral and inevitable expansion of market forces across the planet. Nearly all economists, politicians, business leaders, and mainstream journalists view globalization as the natural result of economic development, and a beneficial one at that. But, as noted economist Martin Hart-Landsberg argues, this perception does not match the reality of globalization. The rise of transnational corporations and their global production chains was the result of intentional and political acts, decisions made at the highest levels of power. Their aim - to increase profits by seeking the cheapest sources of labor and raw materials - was facilitated through policy-making at the national and international levels, and was largely successful. But workers in every nation have paid the costs, in the form of increased inequality and poverty, the destruction of social welfare provisions and labor unions, and an erratic global economy prone to bubbles, busts, and crises. This book examines the historical record of globalization and restores agency to the capitalists, policy-makers, and politicians who worked to craft a regime of world-wide exploitation. It demolishes their neoliberal ideology - already on shaky ground after the 2008 financial crisis - and picks apart the record of trade agreements like NAFTA and institutions like the WTO. But, crucially, Hart- Landsberg also discusses alternatives to capitalist globalization, looking to examples such as South America's Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) for clues on how to build an international economy based on solidarity, social development, and shared prosperity. …

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. China and Socialism: Market Reforms and Class Struggle. Book.

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Foreword. Preface. Introduction China and socialism. 1. China's rise to model status. 2. China's economic transformation. 3. Contradictions of China's transformation domestic. 4. Contradictions of China's transformation international. 5. China and socialism conclusion. Appendix Tables. Notes. Index. The fastest growing economy in the world today is that of China. For many on the left the Chinese economy seems to provide an alternative model of development to that of neoliberal globalization. Although it is a disputed question whether the Chinese economy can be still described as socialist there is no doubting the importance for the global project of socialism of accurately interpreting and soberly assessing its real prospects. Hart Landsberg and Burkett's China and Socialism argues that market reforms in China are leading inexorably toward a capitalist and foreign dominated development path with enormous social and political costs both domestically and internationally. The rapid economic growth that accompanied these market reforms have not been due to efficiency gains but rather to deliberate erosion of the infrastructure that made possible a remarkable degree of equality. The transition to the market has been based on rising unemployment intensified exploitation declining health and education services exploding government debt and unstable prices. At the same time China's economic transformation has intensified the contradictions of capitalist development in other countries especially in East Asia. Far from being a model that is replicable in other third world countries China today is a reminder of the need for socialism to be built from the grassroots up through class struggle and international solidarity. 159 pp.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. An introduction to the causes and consequences of the Korean War, this history seeks to challenge presumptions about Korea favoured by American politicians and network news pundits. Through a judicious survey of the historical record, Martin Hart-Landsberg demonstrates that the basic aim of U.S. foreign policy in Korea from the outset has been regional control - not democracy, despite Washington's claims. Reconstructing the long pattern of Korean struggles for national unity and independence from foreign domination, he shows that the division of the country into hostile states after World War II produced an "imaginary line" contrary to the interests and desires of a majority of Koreans. He examines the post-war history of North and South Korea, showing how Cold War foreign policy and division undermined valuable efforts at social change on both sides of the 38th parallel. Reunification, he concludes, is the optimal solution for Korea, so long as it transpires on a democratic and egalitarian basis, with participation by popular social movements.…
