Leading writers and activists including Noam Chomsky, George Monbiot, Caroline Lucas, Mark Curtis and Susan George explain in brief, succinct chapters what is wrong with the G8 neo-liberal agenda and propose alternatives.Chapters cover G8 attitudes to the key issues: war, corporate power, climate change, immigration, trade, debt, food. Ideal for anyone who is troubled by the current direction set by our world leaders, this book is also a great tool for activists."--Publisher description.
