Publisher's Summary:

The term "globalization" usually has a positive connotation, but activist and author Kevin Danaher illustrates the downside of the move to global business. Starting with Columbus and the subsequent brutal, arguably genocidal, conquest of the Americas, Danaher moves through history to the present, where women making shoes for Nike in Indonesia were fired for asking for $2.20 per day while CEO Philip Knight is worth $5.2 billion. Globalization, concludes Danaher, is a reversion to colonialism, more insidious because it is much more subtle. He argues that the regime of wealth should be reined in, not spread further.
