Alternatives to Global Capitalism

Fülszöveg

Poverty and environmental degredation caused by neo-liberal capitalism is increasing the world over. State capitalism - under the name of socialism - was unable to turn the tide. Ulrich Duchrow explores the Bible for new inspiration for action and political strategies in the modern age, with fascinating results. He discovers that the mechanisms of the life-endangering world economic order can be resisted. Small-scale economic and financial alternatives can nurture a new vision and practice. Political intervention is possible, promoting a social and ecological démocratisation of the economy at all levels.
Alternatives to Global Capitalism re-aligns us with our history and offers new and promising paths for our future.

'Duchrows analysis is the best introduction I know of to the economy of neo-liberalism in the nineties. It makes me — and other beginners -understand • why the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer • what jobless growth means for an economy no more interested in people's work and living • what are the altenatives coming out of the Bible for church folks and NGOs.' Prof Dr. Dorothee Solle, Theologian, Germany
'This book is an inspiring contibution to the ecumenical movement and to civil society as a whole in view of the apparently hopeless situation it faces in the struggle for economic justice.' Dr. Beyers Naudé, Former General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches, South Africa Vissza
