Titre : Clean clothes : a global movement to end sweatshops Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Liesbeth Sluiter, Auteur Editeur : Pluto Press Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 310 p Note générale : 04.02.SLU Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Industrie textile Tags : Industrie du textile Industrie du vêtement Alternatives Emploi Conditions de travail Distribution Wal-Mart Tesco Carrefour Index. décimale : 04.02 Entreprises Résumé : The Clean Clothes Campaign is a worldwide movement that aims to improve the wages and conditions of sweatshop workers. This is the story of their struggle.
Large retailers such as Tesco, Walmart and Carrefour lure shoppers in with prices that seem too good to be true. This book shows that they're too good to be fair. All along the industry's supply chain, workers, often children, are exploited through poverty wages, unpaid overtime and harsh anti-union measures. The campaign urges those in charge of the garment industry's supply lines to protect their workers and treat them fairly.
This dynamic account of direct engagement by concerned consumers is a must read for those that see globalisation differently and want their shopping choices to support the most vulnerable people involved in the clothing industry.Clean clothes : a global movement to end sweatshops [texte imprimé] / Liesbeth Sluiter, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Pluto Press, 2009 . - 310 p.

Titre : Economics for everyone : a short guide to the economics of capitalism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jim Stanford, Auteur Editeur : Pluto Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 350 p Note générale : 00.STA Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Capitalisme Tags : Sciences économiques Capitalisme Index. décimale : 00 ECONOMIE : ouvrages de références Résumé : Stanford is that rare breed: the teacher who changed your life. He has written a book - both pragmatic and idealistic - with the power to change the world. -- Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate and No Logo. Jim Stanford has a unique ability to explain economics in ways that average working people can totally relate to. -- Bob White, Former President, Canadian Labour Congress, and Former President, OECD Trade Union Advisory Committee. I have been waiting all my adult life for this book. Jim Stanford, brilliant economist himself, wrote a terrific book that demystifies economics and makes the subject accessible to us all. Now there's going to be trouble! -- Maude Barlow, Voluntary Chairperson, Council of Canadians, and international water rights campaigner. Is economics the 'dismal science'? Not in Jim Stanford's capable hands. If we are to have better economic policies in the future, 'everyone' needs a guide, and this one is short but sweet. -- Lars Osberg, Chair of Economics, Dalhousie University, and Former President, Canadian Economics Association. Economics For Everyone is a marvelous tool for activists. It is simple but by no means simplistic, with clear explanations and clever cartoons -- Cy Gonick, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Manitoba, and publisher, Canadian Dimension. This book is a timely and important contribution to the intellectual fightback against economic fundamentalism. Written in Jim's incisive and practical style, this book is a 'must have' for anyone engaged in the fight for a good society. -- Doug Cameron, Australian Senator, and Former National Secretary, Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union. Jim Stanford has provided a highly readable yet rigorous guide to the economics of capitalism. It is to be highly commended for its comprehensive yet critical coverage - from work to globalisation, the environment to high finance. -- Malcolm Sawyer, Professor of Economics, Leeds University, U.K. Jim Stanford has written a wonderfully accessible and useful book for union activists or anyone else who wants to learn about how the economy works in order to change it. -- Thea Lee, Economist, AFL-CIO, Washington DC. This book fell on my doorstep alongside newspapers reporting (another) financial crisis. It helps us understand what the newspapers never explain: these crises are a product of the inequalities and incapacity for social foresight that is capitalism's everyday economics. This understanding helps turn these crises into opportunities for change. -- Hilary Wainwright, Editor, Red Pepper Economics for everyone : a short guide to the economics of capitalism [texte imprimé] / Jim Stanford, Auteur . - [S.l.] : Pluto Press, 2008 . - 350 p.

Titre : Paradigms lost : the post cold war era Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chester Hartman, Auteur ; Pedro Vilanova, Auteur Editeur : Pluto Press Année de publication : 1992 Autre Editeur : Amsterdam [Pays-Bas] : Transnational Institute (TNI) Importance : 205 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Histoire politique Tags : Politique internationale Guerre froide Développement durable Conflits Géopolitique Nationalisme Pays en développement Europe Politique de développement Histoire politique Index. décimale : 08.02 Théories politiques Résumé : The extraordinary events that have exploded on the world scene in recent years, such as the breaching of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War and the break-up of the Soviet Union, have altered established ways of thinking about world politics - the basic paradigms - that have been in place since the Second Cold War. How have progressive thinkers responded to the challenge of reassessing their approach to international politics? In this book, scholars from Europe and North America explore some of the most important problems facing the world today: national and international conflicts, environmental degradation, Third World debt and economic marginalisation - all of which demand an urgent democratic response. At a time of dramatic political change, how we think about the world must also change. It is in this spirit that the book has been conceived.
