Subject: New Book on Globalization
To: MARXISM:;


I just stayed up all night to finish reading a book by Gary Teeple
GLOBALIZATION AND THE DECLINE OF SOCIAL REFORM (1995, Garamond Press
in Canada and Humanities Press International in the US.) I think that this is an
excellent Marxsist analysis of the way in which globalization of capital 
has given rise to neo-liberal policies and undercut the gains achieved
by the working class and is causing the dismantling of the welfare state. 
Has anyone else any opinions on this book. This is the first book I have
seen that gives a clear and cogent analysis of the manner in which 
globalization is associated with neo-liberalism, dismantling the welfare
system, destroying union power, privatization, and increasing powerlessness
of social democratic parties. Has anyone else good sources for this topic.
(Actually Teeple has lots of references that are helpful)
