DIVMounting hostility to the hegemony of the United States; tumbling stock markets; environmental destruction; sluggish economic growth, unprecedented income inequality, and growing poverty: something fundamental is wrong, argue Petras and Veltmayer. They assert that globalization is a mere euphemism for capitalism in its current global, imperialist projection. They show how resistance to capitalist globalization is being organized among very diverse social sectors, from rural peasants to the middle class in wealthy countries of the North. They conclude their analysis by assessing the possibilities for unifying the diverse forces of opposition to neoliberalism, capitalism and imperialism and the prospects for an alternative socialist form of development.br/DIVDIVIntroduction *bPart I: The Crisis of Free Market Capitalism/b* Dimensions and Dynamics of Systemic Crisis * Imperialism and Crisis * 9/11 One Year Later * Argentina and the Crisis of Neoliberalism * From Left to Right: the Crisis of Electoral Democracy * The Story of Cod: the Ecological Crisis of Industrial Capitalism *bPart II: Political Dynamics of Anti-Globalization/b* Peasants Against the State in Latin America * Indigenous Peoples Arise: Ecuador on the Move * The Piqueteros: A New Actor on the Political Stage * The Dynamics of AntiglobalizationbrIntroduction *bPart I: The Crisis of Free Market Capitalism/b* Dimensions and Dynamics of Systemic Crisis * Imperialism and Crisis * 9/11 One Year Later * Argentina and the Crisis of Neoliberalism * From Left to Right: the Crisis of Electoral Democracy * The Story of Cod: the Ecological Crisis of Industrial Capitalism *bPart II: Political Dynamics of Anti-Globalization/b* Peasants Against the State in Latin America * Indigenous Peoples Arise: Ecuador on the Move * The Piqueteros: A New Actor on the Political Stage * The Dynamics of Antiglobalizationbr/DIVDIVbJames Petras/bwas Professor of Sociology, Binghamton University.br
