Empire of chaos - Translated by W.H. Locke Anderson - E-book - ePub

We all live on a planet whose destiny we collectively determine, or so we are told. And it is undeniable that the globalization which began five centuries ago with the European conquest of the Americas has passed into a new stage during the past forty years, as a consequence of the heightened intensity of international exchanges and the global spread of the means of destruction. Shall we conclude from this observation that all societies on the planet must subordinate themselves to the criteria of rationality that govern the global expansion of capital? This view, though dominant today, is not merely illogical and erroneous but infinitely dangerous.
