Reviews
"All opponents of globalization should carry it in their luggage." --Le Monde
"Vaneigem's declaration is lengthy, spiritual in places, and some might say impractical--though the same was said of works by Locke, Rousseau, and Marx. At a time when economic disparity is widening, when xenophobia, nationalism, and intolerance are growing worldwide, we need idealists. A Declaration of the Rights of Human Beings provides the inspiration for human freedoms that should and can be part of every nation's constitution and of international law." --George Longenecker, http: //www.raintaxi.com/a-declaration-of-the-rights-of-human-beings/
