The Globalization of Poverty: What Is Neoliberalism?

In these unprecedented economic times, the world is experiencing as a whole what most of the so-called “developing” countries have experienced over the past several decades. For a nuanced examination of the intricacies of the global political-economic landscape and the power players within it, pick up your copy of: The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order by Michel Chossudovsky Michel Chossudovsky takes the reader through an examination of how the World Bank and IMF have been the greatest purveyors of poverty around the world, despite their rhetorical claims to the opposite. These institutions, representing the powerful Western nations and the financial interests that dominate them, spread social apartheid around the world, exploiting both the people and the resources of the vast majority of the world’s population. As Chossudovsky examines in this updated edition, often the programs of these international financial institutions go hand-in-hand with covert military and intelligence operations undertaken by powerful Western nations with an objective to destabilize, control, destroy and dominate nations and people, such as in the cases of Rwanda and Yugoslavia. To understand what role these international organizations play today, being pushed to the front lines and given unprecedented power and scope as ever before to manage the global economic crisis, one must understand from whence they came. This book provides a detailed, exploratory, readable and multi-faceted examination of these institutions and actors as agents of the ‘New World Order,’ for which they advance the ‘Globalization of Poverty.’ The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order Global Research Price: $19.00 CLICK TO BUY PDF Version: $9.50 Sent directly to your email – cut on mailing expenses!

It deserves to be read carefully and widely.” – Choice, American Library Association (ALA) “The current system, Chossudovsky argues, is one of capital creation through destruction. The author confronts head on the links between civil violence, social and environmental stress, with the modalities of market expansion.” – Michele Stoddard, Covert Action Quarterly CLICK HERE FOR A SPECIAL INSIDE LOOK AT THE PREFACE Michel Chossudovsky is Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), which hosts the critically acclaimed website www.globalresearch.ca.
