Abstract
Don Robotham dissects the failure of recent social theory to grasp the problems of globalization and the emergence of corporate monopoly capital, and sets out his own argument for a radical solution by proposing more effective centralized institutions for governing the world economy. This thought-provoking, provactive and cogently argued work attemts to illustrate that the neglect of economics by both cultural studies and social theory has weakened the ability to develop viable alternatives to present day capitalist globalization. The final chapters make a unique argument that the solution to the problems of globalization lies in more globalization rather than adopting an anti-globalization or 'localization' position.
