How to Rule The World

The Coming Battle over the Global Economy

By Mark Engler


"Mark Engler offers a timely reminder that before Bush's boots and bombs there was Clinton's corporate 'consensus'... He then makes a case that there lies a third choice: democracy. Impressively researched and sharply argued, How to Rule the World is an essential handbook not for the few who do rule the world but for the many who should."

Mark Engler is currently on a nationwide book tour.

Calling All Radicals

How Grassroots Organizers Can Save Our Democracy
