Summary:

Neoliberal capitalism positions us all as consumers in a hypermarket where money talks. For the majority of people around the globe, this translates as precarity and immiseration. But how can we break from this dominant ideological framework?, Expose, Oppose, Propose details how, since the mid 1970s, transnational alternative policy groups (TAPGs) have functioned as think tanks of a different sort, generating resources for a globalization from below. Based on two years of intensive research, William Carroll not only provides a detailed examination of a variety of TAPGs but also reveals how they form a master frame that advocates and envisages global justice and ecological wellbeing.
