Susan George is a well-known political scientist and writer on global social justice, Third World poverty, underdevelopment and debt. She is a fellow and president of the board of the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam. She is a fierce critic of the present policies of the IMF, World Bank, and what she calls their "maldevelopment model". She similarly criticizes the structural reform policies of the Washington Consensus on Third World development. She is of U.S. birth but now resides in France, and has dual citizenship.

In January 2007 she received an honorary doctorate from Newcastle University in the UK and in early March the International Studies Association at its congress in Chicago presented her with its first award to an Outstanding Public Scholar.

A thought-provoking journey inside the development of 鈥渢he movement鈥� of people into their own awareness of power to raise their voices across a range of issues in a range of ways from local actions to global interconnectedness.

While there are many things with which I do not agree, George sets out positions which make it possible to examine one鈥檚 own understanding and find some room for movement within, rather than simply being convinced by her own arguments. While there are broad brush strokes and assumptions, there are also finer details and considerations. And some of her 鈥榠t will never happen鈥� positions I have to disagree with from my own connections and knowledge of individuals who are specifically designing their businesses to channel funds into causes in remote and struggling communities across health, education and liveability horizons.

While it is useful to see some things by considering their extremes in either direction, the tendency toward black and white thinking still creates a gap over which neither 鈥榮ide鈥� wants to jump to meet the other. Until we recognise our similarities despite our differences, we will not be able to find how we stand side by side, and therefore can achieve more together than against each other.

Found the use of statistics a little rubbery 鈥� which was disappointing. To get hold of research and then waste the opportunity to make some real sense of it in a way which motivates and fuels people, rather than making everything sound too big to deal with, seems counter-productive.

The explanation of ecology and economy was interesting. But rather than placing one above the other, I felt they are really twins in the same household. They need a 鈥榩arent鈥� above them to guide how they can cooperate and value and respect each other as equals. Once again, this is something I am experiencing through friends who are pursuing social enterprises.
This shift from what has generally been seen as philanthropy of the wealthy in the past - after 鈥榤aking it鈥� they 鈥榞ive back鈥� 鈥� to considering who may benefit above and beyond the interior scope of one鈥檚 own immediate business, has seen some real creativity in recent years. It is a practice which aligns with the concept of Sharity which I am researching from its roots in the 80s at the moment. Designed so that every action includes room for these extras along the way, means that some businesses actually include this purpose behind why they do whatever else they do to earn their income.
It is a direct turn around on the 鈥榚xternalities鈥� model of accounting which George is still seeing so entrenched in the big corporates. But like her, these individuals are looking for the places where they can make a difference, and applying their strategies in smaller but more effective ways there. (smaller in global impact initially but greater in commitment from all the individuals touched by the experience, therefore exponentially greater involvement and evolvement over time)
Some great references and sharing of experiences. Interesting mix of reality checking and doses of hope 鈥� but not as inspiring as I thought it may have been from the title. Perhaps we all need slightly different motivators on the fear to hope scale 鈥� but well worth the read to find where your own capabilities and connections lie. Then write your own chapter鈥� If I were to act, what new world is possible鈥�

Primarily written for the people involved in the grassroots organizing in the global North, this book is a simple, quick introduction to the contours of the 'global justice movement' that can be read by anyone living in any part of the planet. Susan G puts forth convincing arguments and shares her ideas and suggestions with the reader in most friendly and intimate manner. If you have been interested or involved in citizen movements anywhere, this book will talk to you and help you with greater clarity on trickiest issues of theoretical as well practical nature. Closely resembling a seIf-help guide in its approach, this book is a super-easy read while maintaining characteristics keenness in its substance.
Anyone interested in genuine politics, or even remotely interested in the alter-globalization, people's movements, should definitely read this.
