People Before Profit: The New Globalization in an Age of Terror, Big Money, and Economic Crisis by Charles Derber - 2002-12-01

St. Martin, 2002-12-01. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. A perfect unread first edition copy of this highly acclaimed book. Has globalization failed us? The promises of economic stability, increased prosperity, and cultural cooperation seem more like a pipe dream than ever before. Instead of abandoning globalization, Charles Derber challenges readers to rewrite its rules in order to fulfill its potential as an agent of democracy. In this provocative and optimistic work, Derber argues that only a democratic cure begun at the grassroots level will end global terror and economic insecurity. Eye-opening in its analysis, and fresh in its solutions, People Before Profit provides an essential understanding of our world economy as well as a practical guide for building a stable global community. Charles Derber, a noted social critic, is a Professor of Sociology at Boston College. He is the author of eight books including Corporation Nation and The Wilding of America.
