Book Description
In her recent book Suiting Themselves, bestselling author Sharon Beder exposed how the global corporate elite have brazenly rewritten the rules of the global economy to line their pockets. In this new book she trains her sights on the insidious underbelly of this global trend to show how they have also orchestrated a mass propaganda campaign to manipulate community values and convince us that their interest - co-opting and controlling all of us in the name of the free market - is in our interest. During the 20th century, business associations coordinated mass propaganda campaigns combining 20th century American PR methods with revitalized free market ideology from 18th century Europe. The aim was to persuade people to eschew their own power as workers and citizens, and forego their democratic power to restrain and regulate business activity. Sophisticated corporate-funded think tanks augmented these campaigns in the 1970s and 1980s, promoting free enterprise and business-friendly policies. Thesefree market missionaries now seek to change individual and institutional values through bolder strategies such as expanding share ownership and manipulating wider public concerns. In each case the goal is the same: the triumph of business values over community values. Beder‘s is an intellectual call to arms: challenge the ideology of the free market missionaries or be converted to it.

Book Description
The onslaught of globalization has brought with it sweeping changes to the foreign economic policy of the last 50 years. As the international political economy of nations and regions continues to be drawn and redrawn, this book traces the goals and instruments of foreign economic policy during this period, providing insight into the long-run trends and developing new theoretical generalizations. The book charts the journey from the point when foreign economic policy was solely concerned with foreign trade - pursued to promote the interests of individual countries - to the current globalization of the world economy that creates a uniform market in goods, services and factors of production that embrace all countries and regions.

Book Description
The deeper philosophical meaning of "value" is examined in this thought-provoking study of the household values that are associated with agricultural land, rural marketing, village money lending, and the use of diverse forms of "money" in Central India. Gregory (anthropology, Australian National U.) uses a comparative approach based on extensive field work in Central India to analyze the values that spring from reciprocally recognized relations of affinity, consanguinity and contiguity, and to contemplate how these relate to western notions of money and value--the "savage money" of free market capitalism. This is a second printing of a 1997 book. c. Book News Inc.
