"Not surprisingly, the mainstream

anything near the coverage it deserves.
But one day, his expert witness testimony,
along with others, could be used in a

who is/was behind this pure evil. It may
take years, but that day will surely come.."

CONFRONTING
GLOBAL
NEOLIBERALISM:  
Third World Resistance
and Development
Strategies
edited by
Dr. Richard Westra
This collection is a tour de force, effectively
countering not only the neoliberal ideology
of development as a whole but the
marginalizing within today’s mainstream
crisis discourse of any discussion of the
monstrous misallocation of global
resources wrought by the so-called
“Washington Consensus” and the suffering
and destruction it has wreaked on third
world peoples and economies.
These specially commissioned and peer reviewed
chapters on key states such as Brazil, China, Cuba,
Egypt, India, Mexico, Southeast Asia (Indonesia,
Malaysia and Vietnam), South Africa, South
Korea, Syria, Thailand and Venezuela shed light
on both the failures of global neoliberalism and
on the strategies some third world countries have
developed to manage or resist it.
