[DOC] Press release - Civilising Globalisation - Human Rights and the Global Economy, by David Kinley

“Multinational corporations are poisoning [people’s] lands and rivers, uprooting them from their homes and livelihoods, exploiting their labor, and cracking their heads open,” Kinley explains...However, unlike pure skeptics, Kinley also acknowledges the benefits of globalization...Combining meticulous research with informed views and experiences, Kinley outlines a prescription for the humanitarian short-comings of free-market economics that maximizes human rights benefits while minimizing abuses.
