Jihad vs. McWorld

In this compelling, timely, and ultimately hopeful book, a distinguished political scientist analyzes what he sees as the central conflict of our times: between the expansion of consumerist capitalism on one hand ("McWorld"), and the rise of violent sectarianism, in the forms of both religious fundamentalism and ethnic separatist movements ("Jihad"). Barber's central concern is the survival of civic society and the core values of democracy, which he sees as challenged by these two powerful trends.
