Unmaking Goliath

Community Control in the Face of Global Capital

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Arguing against those who say that our communities are powerless in the face of footloose corporations, DeFilippis considers what localities can do in the face of heightened capital mobility in order to retain an autonomy that furthers egalitarian social justice, and explores how we go about accomplishing this in practical, political terms.
