ONE ON ONE TALKING POINTS Challenges to economomic fundamentalism: Venezuelan Women and the "Bolivarian Revolution" WE'VE GOT MALE FILM REVIEW BOOK REVIEW |
On the cover: The glaring irony of today’s globalised world stares us everyday. A McDonald’s sign towering shabby shanties at the very heart of the metropolis. A Coca-Cola sign hanging over the local neighborhood store even in the most far-flung rural area. The landscape in most urban centres in the global South has been transformed into an everyday advertisement for the products of companies of the global North. The starking image of life that most people have now grown accustomed to—made to believe that this is how things are and should be—is a life devoted to money. We ask, “What is fundamental to life in today’s world?” The answer appears to be, “the market.” Cover Art: Jim Marpa |
