About this listen

Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from The Wombles to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet.©2004 Simon Tormey (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Political Science Politics & Government

Editorial reviews

Adrian Mulraney’s casually professorial tone engages the listener from the first line in Simon Tormey’s astute and intelligent overview of an increasingly relevant topic in the the current geopolitical climate.

Tormey uses the basic definition of the term capitalism as a springboard in his examination of how the dominant economic system in the world has fostered disillusionment in some and spawned countless movements ranging from anarchy and environmentalism.

Far from a Marxist polemic, Tormey provides an insightful and objective starting point for understanding a complex and controversial movement, and Mulraney’s calm, distinguished delivery makes for easy listening.

Critic Reviews

“This is clear, helpful and enlightening, even for a hoary old campaigner like me. I have learnt a lot from this book, and I'm sure that you will do so as well.” (George Monbiot, author of The Age of Consent)
“I strongly support this book, it is a good critical (or self-critical) guide to the movement and exactly what the movement needs at its current stage.” (Boris Kagarlitsky – Director, Institute Of Globilisation Studies, Moscow)
