In the wake of massive protests from Seattle to Prague to Bangalor, an international movement democratise the global economy has emerged. What does it mean to democratise the global economy? It means moving capital investment decision making from the secret realm of the wealthy few out into the light of public scrutiny and control. The word democracy implies that sovereignty, ultimate political authority, resides in the people, not in corporations.
Kevin Danaher is Co-founder and Public Education Director of Global exchange the San Fransico based non-profit organisation that led the campaign to expose Nike's use of sweat shop labour. He's the author of Globalise This! and Democratising the Global Economy.
