Introducing the anti-capitalist movement, a movement that has quickly established itself in the global arena, staging protests at meetings of international organisations.

Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from WOMBLES to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle, and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet.

Author Simon Tormey is a Senior Lecturer in Politics and Critical Theory at the University of Nottingham, England.
