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."

--Greg Grandin, author of Empire's Workshop

By Deborah Stone


Experts say that too much help makes people passive and dependent, and self-interest is the only motive that spurs us to work and contribute to society. The Samaritan's Dilemma challenges this conventional wisdom. We live by everyday altruism. So when leaders define the ideal citizen as someone who withholds help, good people are repelled by politics.
