THE DEVIL’S MILK A Social History of Rubber

JOHN TULLY

From the early stages of primitivehistory accu-

mulation“ to the heights of the industrial

revolution and beyond, rubber is one of

a handful of commodities that has played

a crucial role in shaping the modern

world, and yet, as John Tully shows in

have occurred against a backdrop of

THE INVISIBLE HANDCUFFS OF CAPITALISM How Market Tyranny Stifles the Economy by Stunting Workers

MICHAEL PERELMAN

ECONOMICS Mainstream, or more formally, neoclassi-

But as Michael Perelman makes clear,

nothing could be further from the truth.

While a science must be rooted in mate-

DEBT, THE IMF, AND THE WORLD BANK Sixty Questions, Sixty Answers

ÉRIC TOUSSAINT and DAMIEN MILLET

Mainstream economists tell us that devel- oping countries will replicate the eco- nomic achievements of the rich countries if they implement the correct “free-mar- ket” policies. But scholars and activists Toussaint and Millet demonstrate that this is patently false. Drawing on a wealth of detailed evidence, they explain how developed economies have systematically and deliberately exploited the less-devel- oped economies by forcing them into unequal trade and political relationships. Integral to this arrangement are the inter- national economic institutions ostensibly created to safeguard the stability of the global economy—the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank— and the imposition of massive foreign debt on poor countries.

THE PEOPLE’S LAWYER The Story of the Center for Constitutional Rights

ALBERT RUBEN

There is hardly a struggle aimed at upholding and extending the rights embedded in the U.S. Constitution in which the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) has not played a central role. Whether defending the rights of black people in the South, opponents of the war in Vietnam, and victims of torture worldwide, or fighting illegal actions of the U.S. government, the CCR has stood ready to take on all comers. When the United States declared that the Constitution did not apply to detainees at Guantanamo, the CCR waded fearlessly into battle, its Legal Director declaring that “My job is to defend the Constitution from its enemies. Its main enemies right now are the Justice Department and the White House.” In this first-ever comprehensive his- APRIL tory of one of the most important legal $17.95 / £15.00 / $19.95CAN / PAPER organizations in the United States, the 978-1-58367-237-2 Center for Constitutional Rights, Ruben $75.00 / £50.00 / $80.00CAN / CLOTH examines the innovative tactics of the 978-1-58367-238-9 CCR, the ways in which a radical organi- 176 pages / Law / Current Events zation is built and nurtured, and the impact that the CCR has had on our very conception of the law.

WHAT EVERY ENVIRONMENTALIST NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT CAPITALISM

JOHN BELLAMY FOSTER and FRED MAGDOFF

This short, readable book is a sharply argued manifesto for those environmen- talists who reject schemes of “green cap- italism” or piecemeal reform. Environ- mental and economic scholars Magdoff and Foster contend that the struggle to reverse ecological degradation requires a firm grasp of economic reality. Going further, they argue that efforts to reform capitalism along environmental lines or rely solely on new technology to avert catastrophe misses the point. The main cause of the looming environmental dis- aster is the driving logic of the system itself, and those in power—no matter how “green”—are incapable of making the changes that are necessary.
