Books on globalization

[Action Johnny]

Hey guys, I have an upcoming paper to write on the globalization movement, or rather anti-globalization. Can anyone recommend any solid books or sources that might help me?

[CartCollector]

Off the top of my head, Against Empire by Michael Parenti and The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

"No Logo" - Naomi Klein
"The Shock Doctrine" - Naomi Klein
"America's Other War: Terrorizing Colombia" - Doug Stokes
"Looting Africa: the economics of exploitation" - Patrick Bond

All four are very resourceful and intensely researched. I recommend them all and they all cover different topics/aspects/areas of globalization.

[Belisarius]

"Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism" by Lenin should also be mentioned, since imperialism and colonialism were a kind of proto-globalization. (the fundamentals of imperialism still exist today)

[BAM]

Alan Freeman and Boris Kagarlitsky (eds) The Politics of Empire: Globalisation in Crisis (Pluto, 2004).

This essential chapters in the book are the introduction and the essays by Freeman and Kagarlitsky themselves.
