Zed Books Competition

TrackBack Address.

The series ‘Critique Influence Change’ brings together pivotal texts by notable academics and activists from Zed Books’ publishing of the last thirty-five years. Paradigm-changing when first published, these books have retained and often grown in their relevance. Over time, their calls for the rejection of neoliberal economics and policies – be that in the developing world then or developed world now – their vision for a world of greater equality, and their advocacy of alternatives to global capitalism have lost none of their importance. On the contrary, read again with hindsight they offer clear alternatives and calls to action.

Each title has been prefaced by a leading scholar in its field. Beautifully designed, and available at an attractive £12.99 for the first time, these books constitute a library for change for students, activists and the politically passionate.

To celebrate the launch of ‘Critique Influence Change’, Housmans are running a competition to give you the chance to win the five titles currently available in the series:

Ecofeminism by Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva

Capitalism in the Age of Globalization: The Management of Contemporary Society by Samir Amin

Global Governance and the New Wars: The Merging of Development and Security by Mark Duffield

Realizing Hope: Life Beyond Capitalism by Michael Albert

Reclaiming Development: An Alternative Economic Policy Manual by Ha-Joon Chang and Ilene Grabel

To win these books all you need to do is complete this famous slogan from 1968:
‘Be __________ , demand the __________ ‘

Send your answer to nik(at)housmans.com and two winners will be randomly selected from the correct entries. The closing date for the competition is Saturday 10th May. Good luck!

Here’s a video from the launch event with one of the authors, Ha-Joon Chang:
