William Greider, author of the books Who Will Tell the People and Secrets of the Temple and former editor at Rolling Stone magazine, reveals the myths of a world that is unprepared to democratically face its own evolution, globalization.

He provides answers to his central question of whether the world will survive the triumph of a manic system that, through its rise, shapes the terms of its own destruction. His diagnosis is that we are facing a drama: an uncontrollable global economic system is constantly teetering on the brink of self-destruction.

The enhancement of economic growth is accompanied by the strengthening of the exploitation of the vulnerable in this world. The development of technologies, under the guidance of capital, leads to overaccumulation and consequently disrupts the balance between supply and demand, revealing social limits and the market's negative aspects.

However, the author does not limit himself to revelations. He offers thorough and optimistic solutions to today's problems. With his committed social sensitivity, the wealth of data, and the solid morality of his proposals, Greider provides decisive answers to the neoliberal prescriptions that dominate the modern world.
