The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, I suppose, though she's not radically anti-capitalist in the communist sense.

For a look at globalization from the perspective of Central America, Chomsky's "Turning the Tide" is very interesting.

"Rogue State" by William Blum is a fantastic look at the US' imperialism.

And mainstay book by Communist/Anarchist theorists will also cover much of imperialism and globalization to a certain extent. Marx, Goldman, Berkman, etc...

I was about to recommend this book. I have it, but have not read it yet. I have a shit load of books on my to-do list. But this shitty summer-reading book that was assigned to everyone in my highschool is keeping me from working through my Reading To-Do List.

My contribution to this thread: Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

Not a great source for hard-core information. It's the personal account of John Perkins, a man whose job was to give poor governments estimates on how something like a new telephone or electric system built by American contractors would boost the poor country's economy. His job was to make estimates, and then manipulate them to make it seem like a good investment. An interesting read at the very least.
