Review Quotes:

"Globalization and Change: The Transformation of Global Capitalism, edited by a social scientist of immense international reputation, contains lucid and critical essays that examine this worldwide expansionary process and its contradictions in great detail. This book is a must read, especially for those who are dissatisfied with the prevailing myths about globalization." --Cyrus Bina, University of Minnesota, Morris Campus "The daily shockwaves of war, poverty, environmental devastation, protest, and revolt leave many of us at a loss to understand, let alone take action against, capitalist globalization. This collection of superb essays provides a succinct framework to expose the contradictions of this process, the human cost of global capitalist expansion, and the mobilization of millions of people to confront the global empire." --Judy Aulette, University of North Carolina, Charlotte "This sterling collection of essays by premier political economists exposes the real nature of globalization and capitalism. Well analyzed, well edited, and much needed, this book will benefit laypersons and academics alike." --Michael Parenti, author of The Face of Imperialism and God and His Demons
