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.
