The possibility for a world trade system to put basic human rights & the environment at its core has an edgy feel, especially since, for the first time in our history of humanity, economic values have now superseded every human value, & the language of economics is like a gang of thieves breaking & entering our brains & stealing our sense of compassion. The possibility for trade justice to thrive requires not being passive spectators but actors to rewrite the play to not even allow people to be labeled consumers. Change will never come about by governments or businesses that have no emotion other than fear & greed. Change will always come about by moral dissenters to the persistence of small committee groups of people willing to fail over long periods of time until the damn of oppression, indifference, & greed finally cracks. It is a lifetime's work to clear away all the fatuous fantasies & false promises created by the media & political & economic market leaders. The real threat to corporate globalization is the peer is the irresistible appeal of carnival as a tactic of dissent in which spontaneity & pleasure characterize resistance & rebellion. The people that make up the rag-tag line encircling the globe of millions of grassroots initiatives who know that freedom isn't the right to vote a dozen times in your life, but the right to decide your economic as well as your political destiny, which is what economic globalization is stealing from people all over the world. This is the new politics for a new century, and this above all else brings optimism. References. J. Harwell
