Summary:

Looking for historical roots of current political struggles against global neo liberalism, Drainville (sociology, Laval U., Canada) presents case studies from the US, the UK, France, South Africa, Algeria, the Philippines, and Jamaica. He finds 200 years of sustained resistance and concludes with an invitation to scholars to build on his work and amplify ideas concerning the development of a "...general, unalienated history of the world economy...."
