This is an excellent first book from from foreign policy analyst Mark Engler, beautifully written in a style which does not call upon the reader to have a degree in either Politics or Economics.

Whilst warning of new dangers to come in the post-Bush era, Engler remains optimistic about further progress being made towards the dismemberment of the now discredited Neoliberal (and, in consequence, anti-democratic) ordering of the world economy.
There's plenty more positive stuff to say about this book, but I'd hate to spoil the fun for readers. Just go out and buy a copy and enjoy!
