War, Racism and Economic Justice: The Global Ravages of Capitalism
Â
Fidel Castro adds his voice to the growing international chorus against neoliberalism and the globalization of the world economy. He calls for the abolition of the IMF and asks: “Why not seek other formulas and admit that humankind is able to organize itself and its destiny in a more rational and humane manner?â€
Â
Fidel Castro also discusses
*Â the danger of a new stock market collapse
*Â U.S. cultural hegemony
* NATO’s war in Yugoslavia
* US “war on drugs†in Latin America
*Â the need to democratize the United Nations
*Â the catastrophe of capitalist reform in Russia
*Â the current state of US-Cuba relations
Â
In the face of the “new world order,†Fidel comments: “To endure the global struggle between the super-powers is bad. To live under total hegemonic domination by one of them is worse.â€

“Library shelves are full of books touting the wonders of globalization; perhaps there should also be room there for a dissenting voice. This volume collects speeches and written messages by Castro over the last two years… Castro has no objection to globalization; in fact, he considers it inevitable. What he objects to is the imposition of neoliberal capitalism in the name of globalization.†—Booklist
