Features: Originally, people held the dream that the growing tide of globalization would benefit all of humanity. However, this is not the case. Globalization has concentrated the world's resources in the hands of the rich and powerful nations, while simultaneously erecting heavy barriers for the poor and weak nations, making it difficult for them to access better education, healthcare, and other resources. All of this is sufficient to cause transnational privatization. Meanwhile, the capitalist economic system has been slow to move forward amidst widespread criticism. As a result, some have put forward a resounding "Anti-Capitalist Manifesto." This book is a discussion on opposing capitalist globalization and how to formulate strategies and tactics in concrete movements. It is comprehensive in content, features typical cases, and provides thorough and well-reasoned analysis, reflecting a significant part of modern Western thought.
