Being CEO of the successful, global company, The Body Shop, has not stopped Anita Roddick from being passionately political. She believes that globalisation is ‘the latest name for the conspiracy of the rich against the poor’. In this book she brings together some of the big names and authorities on the issue including Susan George, David Korten and Naomi Klein. This full-colour format book, aimed at a young, concerned, political readership, covers aspects of globalisation such as human rights, the environment, international finance, health, food and trade. The book includes articles, quotes, case notes and interviews, all combining in a call to action, to show how individuals can take on the corporate giants and make a real difference. This book is not just for the converted but is an excellent introduction to a complex topic.

The resource includes stunning photographs and illustrations as well as a glossary of key terms, a subject index and at the end of each section a listing of additional resources ie books, journals and websites. A resource to challenge your mind. All school libraries should have a copy.
