To solve the urgent interlocking problems of climate change, world poverty, corruption, migration, food insecurity, intellectual property, international finance and money itself, New Rules for Global Justice are desperately needed. This book, produced by eminent researchers from four continents, gives us a brilliant, insightful and timely start.

Over the last decades corporate globalization has imposed an economic system that has produced a world for the 1%, increased global injustice, and pushed the planet and societies to the brink. The ideas and proposals presented in New Rules for Global Justice have become an ecological and political imperative.
- Vandana Shiva, recipient of the Alternative Nobel Prize – Right Livelihood Award,
In the current darkness of global injustice, a glimmer of light and hope comes from a renewed globalized discussion of pathways to justice. In its global distribution of authors as well as in its wide range of topics and strategies, this book is an extraordinary contribution to the worldwide discussion of change.
- Göran Therborn, Professor of Sociology, University of Cambridge,
Global redistribution should be an urgent priority. By showing us how it can be accomplished, this much-needed book should hasten that day. A compelling roadmap to a just future.
