$16.95

An eye-opening primer on some of the less explored aspects of globalization. 
Unequal Partners lucidly reveals . . . the real impact of globalization on health, labor, human rights, and the other realities of human life.
—Jeremy Brecher, author of Globalization from Below
We know that globalization has sent labor from industrialized countries to the Third World, where workers are paid far less. But do we know the effect of the global market on education, the spread of AIDS, and the costs of basic medicines? In clear detail, Unequal Partners shows how the merger of corporate and governmental interests has sacrificed public health and the environment for profits.  The book also provides a blueprint for resistance by describing "globalization from below": the coalition of movements that has been increasingly effective in influencing corporate and governmental behavior worldwide.  Unequal Partners is for anyone who wants to understand how to keep the escalating forces of globalization in check.

William K. Tabb is professor of economics at Queens College and professor of political science at the Graduate Center of the City of New York.
