Exit from Globalization moves from theory to practice: from
questions of where incorrigible knowledge of substantive economic
life derives and how that knowledge is put towards making a
progressive, redistributive, eco-sustainable future of human
flourishing.
Westra discards at the outset views that the root of current
economic ills is the old devil we know, capitalism. Rather, he
maintains the neoliberal decades spawned a "Merchant of Venice"
economic excrescence bent upon expropriation and rent seeking which
will scrape all the flesh from the bones of humanity if not stopped
dead in its tracks. En route to providing a viable design for the
human future in line with transformatory demands of socialists and
Greens, Westra exorcizes both Soviet demons and ghosts of
neoliberal ideologues past which lent support to the position that
there is no alternative to "the market." "
Exit from Globalization" shows in a clear and compelling fashion
that while debates over the possibility of another, potentially
socialist, world swirl around this or that grand society-wide
scheme, the fact is that creative future directed thinking has at
its disposal several "economic principles" that transformatory
actors may choose from and combine in various ways to remake human
economic life. The book concludes with an examination of the
various social constituencies currently supporting radical change:
And explores the narrowing pathways to bring change about.
