Synopsis
Jihad vs. McWorld is a groundbreaking work, an elegant and illuminating analysis of the central conflict of our times: consumerist capitalism versus religious and tribal fundamentalism. These diametrically opposed but strangely intertwined forces are tearing apart--and bringing together--the world as we know it, undermining democracy and the nation-state on which it depends. On the one hand, consumer capitalism on the global level is rapidly dissolving the social and economic barriers between nations, transforming the world's diverse populations into a blandly uniform market. On the other hand, ethnic, religious, and racial hatreds are fragmenting the political landscape into smaller and smaller tribal units. Jihad vs. McWorld is the term that distinguished writer and political scientist Benjamin R. Barber has coined to describe the powerful and paradoxical interdependence of these forces. In this important new book, he explores the alarming repercussions of this potent dialectic for democracy. A work of persuasive originality and penetrating insight, Jihad vs. McWorld holds up a sharp, clear lens to the dangerous chaos of the post-Cold War world. Critics and political leaders have already heralded Benjamin R. Barber's work for its bold vision and moral courage. Jihad vs. McWorld is an essential text for anyone who wants to understand our troubled present and the crisis threatening our future.

- b***o (131)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoI ordered these on December 19 and they arrived January 10th. There were a couple holidays sprinkled in there, but for the price I paid for these very hard to find items, they could have come a little quicker. With that said, the seller was very responsive to communications and the items came as advertised.New OXO Good Grips Heavy Steel Serving Spoon (10 1/2 Inches Long) (N° 285649585987)
- r***s (83)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoItem seems to not be counterfeit and is as described - overpriced, but that's what you pay when your colors are no longer being made. I ordered and got a reminder to review, but had not received the item yet or any tracking information. I then messaged the seller 10 days after the order and they had not yet shipped. they said they had been traveling and would ship. Did not receive item until over two weeks after ordering - and we are both in the United States.New KitchenAid Mint Pistachio Green HPIA Set of 2 Lifter Turner & Basting Spoon (N° 285677842244)
