New Rules for Global Justice: Structural Redistribution in the Global Economy [Hardcover]

Todays globalised world means offshore finance, airport boutiques and high-speed Internet for some people, against dollar-a-day wages, used t-shirts, and illiteracy for others. How do these highly skewed global distributions happen, and what can be done to counter them?

New Rules for Global Justice engages with widespread public disquiet around global inequality. It explores (mal)distributions in relation to country, class, gender and race, with international examples drawn from Australia to Zimbabwe. The book is action-oriented and empowering, presenting concrete proposals for new rules in regard to climate change, corruption, finance, food, investment, the Internet, migration and more.

To solve the urgent interlocking problems of climate change, world poverty, corruption, migration, food insecurity, intellectual property, international finance and money itself, New Rules for Global Justice are desperately needed. This book, produced by eminent researchers from four continents, gives us a brilliant, insightful and timely start.

The ideas and proposals presented in New Rules for Global Justice have become an ecological and political imperative. Vandana Shiva, recipient of the Alternative Nobel Prize  Rl“’
