- Synopsis
- Gallagher (a lecturer on globalization at the Romero Center, a Catholic "Retreat and Social Justice Center" in East Camden, New Jersey) offers a primer on the institutional violence wrought by neoliberal globalization around the world. He explains the operations of the political, economic, legal, and military institutions that together make up the neoliberal global order, later describing their effects on the world's poor and the most vulnerable including children forced to work in sweatshop conditions and worse and women trafficked as sexual slaves. Finally, he presents solutions rooted in Catholic liberation theology. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
