by Mark Engler

(Nation Books, 256 Pages)

From the back cover
Right now a debate is taking place over what values should define our international order. For global elites, it is a debate about how to rule the world. Laying out a new and original framework for understanding globalization politics, Mark Engler describes the conflict between a Clinton-era vision of an expanding, corporate-controlled global economy and a Bush-era "imperial gloalization" based on US military dominance. How to Rule the World explains how these visions overlap and also how, at critical moments, they clash with one another. It written, however, in the hopes that neither will prevail.
