Globalization and Anti-Globalization: The Way Forward

The anti-globalization movement first gained notoriety in Seattle two and a half years ago. But what is this movement? In what ways does it unite such unlikely bedfellows as George Soros, the legendary financier, and Jose Bove, the French farmer who trashed a McDonald's building site? What does "street politics" have in common with "consumer politics"? And will this explosion in protest ultimately destroy democracy or serve as the catalyst to reinvigorate it?

Please join us as Noreena Hertz presents her thoughts in critique and defense of globalization and proposes a new political agenda for reframing globalization.
