Arguments Against G8

What is the G8? Every year world leaders convene for their annual summit, accompanied by thousands of protestors and anti-globalization activists.

In Genoa in 2001, street battles between police and demonstrators made world headlines, as one protestor was shot. This book is a one-stop guide for anyone who wants to know more about the G8, what it is, and why it's a problem.

Leading writers and activists including Noam Chomsky, George Monbiot, Susan George, Mark Curtis and Caroline Lucas explain in brief, succinct chapters, what is wrong with the G8 neo-liberal agenda and propose alternatives.

Chapters cover G8 attitudes to the key issues: war, corporate power, climate change, immigration, trade, debt, food.

Ideal for anyone who is troubled by the current direction set by our world leaders, this book is also a great tool for activists.
