globalization has been an orgy of greed and senseless exploitation. It has been profoundly destructive of nature and will result in mass extinctions in the next few decades. It has accelerated climate change. It has undermined the public interest and the priorities of governments the world over. It has destroyed the middle class in north  america and driven millions if not billions off the land into wage slavery in the rest of the world.

People and nature come first. The economy serves people, not the other way around.
