Michael Mckinley

Economic Globalisation as Religious War

Tragic Convergence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using a critical theory approach to analyze the globalization of the world economy, this provocative and topical new book presents economic globalization not as a recent development, but rather as a familiar process that has occurred throughout history. Michael McKinley argues that it is ultimately a self-serving, arbitrary and destructive imperial project that should be viewed as a religious war.
