'Essential reading for anyone wanting to move beyond critiques of
economic globalisation to coherent and credible alternatives'
*Dame Anita Roddick DBE*
'We stand at a crucial point in history. One future leads to
spiraling inequality, insecurity and environmental decline -
another road heads toward sustainability. Most of our elected
representatives know only one way ahead - the way of corporate
globalisation. So here is the exception, not more
anti-globalisation or pro-globalisation, but a genuine alternative
that promotes policies for people and the planet. If more
politicians thought like this, we would live in a far better
world'
*Tony Juniper, Executive Director, Friends of the Earth (UK)*
'Policy makers are trying to make failed economic theory work, like
farmers trying to milk a dead cow. Caroline Lucas and Mike Woodin
know its time to move on and try something different. Here is proof
that there are alternatives'
*Andrew Simms, Policy Director, New Economics Foundation*
