We are in the midst of a multifaceted crisis which touches the lives of everyone on the planet. Whether it's growing poverty and inequality or shrinking access to food and water, the collapse of global financial markets or the dire effects of climate change, leading international academic and activist Susan George believes that every aspect of this crisis can be traced back to a transnational neoliberal elite that has steadily usurped our rights, power and influence over world affairs.

With her usual verve, passion and intelligence, Susan George explores each dimension of this deepening planetary emergency, arguing that it presents an extraordinary opportunity for humankind. The world has never been so wealthy, and there is, right now, all the knowledge, tools and skills needed to build a greener, fairer, richer world.
