Firing Back Summary

Firing Back: Against the Tyranny of the Market by Pierre Bourdieu

In this series of trenchant essays, Pierre Bourdieu continues the urgent project begun in Acts of Resistance. Dissecting the claims of neoliberalism, Bordieu calls for an international social movement capable of forming a counterforce to the project of capitalist globalisation.

Firing Back Reviews

Bordieu once again selects the right targets and, as always, has much to say that is incisive and enlightening. -- Noam Chomsky
The most convincing embodiment of the politically active intellectual since Sartre or Foucault. * The Times *
