One No, Many Yeses

Más información sobre el libro

"It could turn out to be the biggest political movement of the twenty-first century: a global coalition of millions, united in resisting an out-of-control global economy, and already building alternatives to it. It emerged in Mexico in 1994, when the Zapatista rebels rose up in defiance of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The West first noticed it in Seattle in 1999, when the WTO was stopped in its tracks by 50,000 protesters. Since then, it has flowered all over the world." "But what exactly is it? To find out, Paul Kingsnorth travelled across five continents to visit some of the movement's epicentres. Along the way, he found a new political idea. Not socialism, not capitalism, not any 'ism' at all, it is united in what it opposes, and deliberately diverse in what it wants instead - a politics of 'one no, many yeses'. This movement may yet change the world. This book tells its story."--BOOK JACKET
