The Limits of Capitalism: An Approach to Globalization Without Neoliberalism

Product Description This book is a trenchant critique of globalization under the sign of neo-liberal economic policies and is a powerful proposal for a different and democratic way forward. It argues that the political Achilles Heel of globalization is that it is taking place without the engagement of citizens at large, or even consulting them. The author argues that the neo-liberal mindset cannot appreciate the differences between economic efficiency and vitality or between productive and unproductive investment, and has no notion of the Common Good. Review “Provides an excellent insight into the limited logic of neoliberalism, and paints a clear and systematic picture of the world's likely future at the start of the new century if this doctrine is not abandoned.” —Franz Hinkelammert“This is an excellent analysis from a third world perspective of the globalization process.” —Gerrit Huizer About the Author Wim Dierckxsens is at Departamento Ecumenico de Investigaciones (DEI), Costa Rica.
