The other globalization

De François Christophe et Frédéric Castaignède

Synopsis

December 1999, 40,000 demonstrators invaded the streets of Seattle to denounce the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In the past few years, the number of protest movements has widely increased. A network of associations have been set up all over the planet; they are claiming for a different globalisation with more humanity and solidarity. In opposition to the néolibéral ideology a new way of thinking has started to come out. It is centred around three main propositions: imposing a tax on Financial speculation, cancelling the debt of the third world countries and controlling the world market. We will listen to the point of view of the heterodox economists and we will tell the always changing story of these alternative networks.
