anti globalization everywhere

yes, you open an italian newspaper or turn on tv and what you see is some alarming report of what’s going to happen when the next G8 meeting will take place in Genoa, Italy at the end of July, and the government that should talk with those who will be there to protest and to demonstrate against it and tales from the so called people of seattle and the movement but i really wonder : do people know what they’re talking about ? what are the real issues and why this movement make so much noise ? Because sure it makes much more noise crashing shopwindows of McDonald’s or marching against police than a recent public debate between Jeremy Rifking and Umberto Eco on this topic. So it’d be good if people would first be aware and know a little more, surely there are sources on the net that’d be useful or books, i just read trough nologo by Naomi Klein and it was a well documented and and in depth reading. so if you’ve to smash a shopwindow, you’d better know the full story first.
