Free Trade

This is the second book in EPICA's Popular Education series on Globalization.

The book addresses three main topics: 1) free trade in general; 2) the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in particular; and 3) the movement against these agreements and against neoliberal globalization.

The main idea of the book is that free trade contains a lot of trade but very little freedom. Free Trade, instead of promoting the development of poor countries, is generating extraordinary power and wealth for transnational companies while it sinks most people inpoor countries even further into the slavery of poverty.

Volume Two

Edited by Scott Wright, Kathy Ogle & Ann Butwell

"A breathtaking glimpse at the lived experience of faithful people in these decades of yearning for justice in the Americas. With depth and power and reverence, it touches the holy ground upon which humble people have struggled toward the New Creation. A gift, pure and simple." - Marie Dennis, Director, Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns

We Make the Road by Walking is the second volume of EPICA's 30th anniversary anthology.

The Globalization of Hope

Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean in the New Millennium
Volume One

Edited by Scott Wright, Kathy Ogle & Ann Butwell

"The Globalization of Hope brings us the voices of church activists from forgotten corners of the world. Their testimonies from Central America, Haiti and Chiapas are an indictment of current neoliberal triumphalism. Offering modest hints of an alternative, they prod us to keep walking." - Phil Berryman, author of Stubborn Hope, and The Religious Roots of the Rebellion (Orbis Books).

The Globalization of Hope is the first volume of EPICA's 30th anniversary anthology. It charts a difficult transition from popular struggles for liberation in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean to local struggles for survival. Neoliberalism is examined from the perspective of its impact on the poor and the struggle to develop an alternative. A final section highlights the call for global solidarity.
