Terms like “quantitative easing” (bailouts for big banks), “austerity“ (passing the cost onto regular people), and ”asset recycling” (privatizing public assets) are translated into plain English, so the public can know what it’s up against.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe other role the book plays is offering solutions from empowering stories of resistance to these neoliberal economic policies. Through Rafael Correa’s Ecuador, Mexico’s Zapatistas, Spain’s “Indignados”, Cuba’s revolutionary organic farmers, the North American divestment movement, Denmark’s happiness-boosting social services, and Japan’s erasure of “sovereign debt” with smart central banking, Nelson provides a roadmap to liberation from the greedy banksters’ deathgrip on our environment and societies.” \u003cem\u003e-Reviewed by Damien Gillis, journalist and documentary filmmaker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this Author, please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.joycenelson.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eJoyce Nelson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTo view the prequel to this book, \u003cem\u003eBEYOND BANKSTERS,\u003c\/em\u003e please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/beyond-banksters-resisting-the-new-feudalism-by-joyce-nelson-2016-1st-ed?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=banksters\u0026amp;_psid=ffe9b40ba\u0026amp;_ss=e\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eBEYOND BANKSTERS, Resisting the New Feudalism, by Joyce Nelson (2016 1 – Gillmore Coins \u0026amp; Collectibles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780995328631  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock #5299\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48250383040742,"sku":"5299","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5299_1_31b0f193-e367-4d81-9d33-09cff355c57f.jpg?v=1787857514","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/bypassing-dystopia-hope-filled-challenges-to-corporate-rule-by-joyce-nelson-2018-1st-ed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
