Title The Success of Being Dangerous: Resisting Free Trade and Investment Regimes
 
Creator Greenfield, Gerard
 
Subject

 
Description In the neo-liberal ice age of the early 1980s through to the end of the 1990s, global capitalists and their supporters expressed supreme confidence in their victory over us. This confidence is symbolized in the posters and billboards launched by The Financial Times in the mid-1990s declaring "Capitalists of the world unite!" By taking our slogan ("Workers of the world unite!") and turning it upside-down, they were, in a sense, ridiculing our own internationalism. They forcefully claimed that the internationalism of the post- Cold War era was an internationalism built and defended by capitalists, for capitalists.
