A great many people recognize that globalization is destructive, undermining local livelihoods, ways of life and environments. Governments hold up international competitiveness as the be-all and end-all of policy, presenting globalization as inevitable. It isn't, as Colin Hines shows in this persuasive and passionate polemic. Local economies, local autonomy and local democracy can all be protected - globally - if the aid and trade rules are changed. 'Localization' provides the arguments and examples for all those threatened by the onward march of a monolithic, undifferentiated, global consumer culture, and for those wanting to preserve local values and services - whether local food, local housing, education, transport or environment. It will be a rallying call against the runaway juggernaut of the global economy at the start of the 21st century.
