When global economies integrate, what disintegrates as a result? The answer, Ronaldo Munck contends, is social equality.
To illustrate how globalization deepens existing inequities, Munck focuses on disparities in living conditions; the feminization of poverty; the global sex trade; the effects of racism, migration, and multiculturalism; and the formation and political manifestations of social class. He boldly develops a politics and ethics of transformation, suggesting tools to transform society from within and create a more democratic and just global order.
