About this book

&i;'In this lucidly written, solidly grounded, and deeply informed study, Arthur MacEwan exposes the intellectual shallowness of the thesis that "There is No Alternative" (TINA), and reviews the historical and contemporary evidence that undermines it on empirical grounds. He shows that TINA is a specific array of social and economic programs crafted in the interests of narrow sectors of power and privilege. And further, that there definitely &o;are&i; alternatives that do not so radically undermine democracy and fundamental human rights.'&o; Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor, MIT
