Capitalist growth is widely heralded as the only answer to the crisis
still sweeping the global economy. Yet the era of corporate
globalisation has been defined by unprecedented levels of inequality and
environmental degradation. A return to capitalist growth threatens to
exacerbate these problems, not solve them.
In The Poverty of
Capitalism, John Hilary reveals the true face of transnational capital
in its insatiable drive for expansion and accumulation. He exposes the
myth of 'corporate social responsibility' (CSR), and highlights key
areas of conflict over natural resources, labour rights and food
sovereignty. Hilary also describes the growing popular resistance to
corporate power, as well as the new social movements seeking to develop
alternatives to capitalism itself.
This book will be essential reading for all those concerned with global justice, human rights and equity in the world order.
