Arundhati Roy Quotes About Globalization

• ...A medida que crece la disparidad entre ricos y pobres, se intensifica la lucha por acaparar los recursos.

La globalización corporativa -o deberíamos llamarla por su nombre, imperialismo- necesita una prensa que pretenda ser libre. Necesita tribunales que pretendan impartir justicia.

Everyone will go baying off in that direction. It's a game.
