Features: This book includes 12 articles written by the author from 1998 to the present. These articles (including several appendices included) have been highly controversial. Three topical commentaries on "globalization" take us into the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 1999 NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in South Vietnam, and today's volatile debate about the fate of the knowledge economy. These three commentaries consistently present the view that capitalism is a destructive force embedded in the modernization, market processes, and nation-states of the contemporary world.
