Who benefits most from it? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answer is a triad of 'governance institutions' - The IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. Globalization massively increased the power of these institutions and they drastically affected the livelihoods of peoples across the world. Yet they operate undemocratically and aggressively promote a particular kind of neoliberal capitalism. Under the 'Washington Consensus' they proposed, poverty was to be ended by increasing inequality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of \u003cem\u003eUnholy Trinity\u003c\/em\u003e, completely updated and revised, argues that neoliberal global capitalism has now entered a period of crisis so severe that governance will become impossible. Huge incomes for a small number of super-rich people produced an unstable global economy, rife with speculation and structurally prone to crises. The IMF is in disgrace, the WTO can hardly meet anymore and the World Bank survives as a global philanthropist. Is this the end for the Unholy Trinity?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Peet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848132514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848132511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Peet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077617578239,"sku":"9781848132511","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d965750-0632-4988-8913-cd9f8684921f.jpg?v=1685470906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unholy-trinity-richard-peet-9781848132511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
