Perhaps no word today is used and misused more than globalization. It generally serves to refer to worldwide epoch-defining changes in the organization of societies, economies and politics. But as Petras and Veltmeyer demonstrate, the term globalization obscures much more than it reveals. In practice, globalization provides a cover for a new form of imperialist exploitation and the institution of US hegemony over a global process of capital accumulation. In the last decade, capitalists in Europe and the United States have created favourable conditions for the takeover and recolonization of economies across the developing world. International capital has managed to restore highly profitable returns on investments and operations as never before, creating islands of opulent prosperity within a sea of growing poverty and misery. In effect, this book argues that the terms globalization and imperialism are widely used as alternative frameworks for understanding the dynamics of the same worldwide developments and trends. Employing an imperialist analytical framework over that of globalization not only provides a better understanding but also points towards forces of resistance and opposition that through political action may bring about necessary change.

In this #1 national bestseller, a journalist who's been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group's history and tactics. When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa. In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever.

An inspiring outline of a new economics system, where justice, human dignity, compassion and reverence for life are the guiding values. The economic system under which we live not only forces the great majority of humankind to live their lives in indignity and poverty but also threatens all forms of life on Earth. Economics Unmasked presents a cogent critique of the dominant economic system, showing that the theoretical constructions of mainstream economics work mainly to bring about injustice. The merciless onslaught on the global ecosystem of recent decades, brought about by the massive increase in the production of goods and the consequent depletion of nature's reserves, is not a chance property of the economic system. It is a direct result of neoliberal economic thinking, which recognizes value only in material things. The growth obsession is not a mistaken conception that mainstream economists can unlearn, it is inherent in their view of life. But a socio-economic system based on the growth obsession can never be sustainable. This book outlines the foundations of a new economics, where we are not ruled by greed and injustice. Contrary to the absurd assumption of mainstream economists that economics is a value-free science, a new economics must make its values explicit.

From 1820 to 1990 the share of world income going to today’s wealthy nations soared from 20% to 70%. That share has recently plummeted. Richard Baldwin shows how the combination of high tech with low wages propelled industrialization in developing nations, deindustrialization in developed nations, and a commodity supercycle that is petering out.

The worldwide financial system was already in crash mode prior to the Coronavirus situation. This book chronicles the false and deceptive narratives in relation to the 'Reset', banking, money creation, globalisation, economics, sustainable development, climate change, and corporate media. These areas have been utilised by a small group of people for the purposes of greed, power and authoritarian control of the world, to the general detriment of the overwhelming majority of the world population. All nations are in vast debt - this worldwide system of debt slavery run by the privately owned world banking system had reached its mathematical endpoint. The 'Reset' attempts to replace it with a fascist system of technocratic authoritarianism under cover a virus. It is an attempt by the WEF, globalist bankers and their political cohorts to retain control and push their fourth industrial revolution agenda of control under cover of a fake pandemic and the fake narrative of sustainable development. The real divide in society is fascist authoritarianism versus freedom.Decades ago, the real sustainability movement was hijacked by the deceptive political scheme of sustainable development, which endorsed unjust debt-money banking and a flawed economic system. Sustainable development is a false narrative operating under cover of continued globalisation.For decades, the international privately owned banking system has created debt-money from nothing and charged all governments and people extortionist interest on it (usury). By this and other mechanisms it bled around 35% of the profits of nations. This resulted in immense wealth and power for a tiny minority that own the private worldwide banking cartel, but placed a financial debt burden of control on the nations of the world.The GDP growth system was needed by the banking system, so that it could receive interest payments on debt-money loans, yet GDP growth caused environmental degradation, social poverty, and wealth inequity in society.The private banking cartel created boom-bust-bailout cycles at will that placed nations in further debt. The real economic welfare of society, as estimated by the GPI, decreased since 1978. The pseudo-science of contemporary economics used by all governments facilitated the process.IN 2020, limits to GDP growth and peak oil appear to be manifesting. Systemic problems in the economic system led to a multi-trillion dollar banking bailout in 2020 that took place under cover of a virus. The serious implications for the future of worldwide society and the potential collapse of industrialised society is outlined. The nefarious economic reset of worldwide societal control, the growing opposition to these fascist changes, and what we must do in the years ahead is described in detail.Having worked at the United Nations Environment Division and as a Science Advisor at the Department of Energy and Climate Change, U.K., Mark Keenan exposes the truth about subjects vital for the welfare of humanity.

We live in a time of dynamic, but generally regressive regime change-a period in which major political transformations and a rollback of a half-century of legislation are accelerated under conditions of a prolonged and deepening economic crisis and a worldwide offensive against the citizenry and the working class. Written by two of the world’s leading left-wing thinkers, Imperialism and Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century takes the form of a number of analytical probes into some of the dynamics of capitalist development and imperialism in contemporary conditions of a system in crisis. It is too early to be definitive about the form that capitalism and imperialism -and socialism-might be or is taking, as we are in but the early stages of a new developmental dynamic, the conditions of which are too complex to anticipate or grasp in thought; they require a closer look and much further study from a critical development and Marxist perspective. The purpose of this book is to advance this process and give some form to this perspective.
