Alter Globalism and the Imperatives of Speed explores the ways in which speed is shaping the world today. From the rapid pace of technological change to the increasing speed of travel and communication, speed is having a profound impact on our lives. This book examines the implications of this acceleration for our economies, our societies, and our environment.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Speeding Up," examines the ways in which speed is changing our world. The second part, "The Consequences of Speed," explores the implications of this acceleration for our economies, our societies, and our environment. The third part, "Slowing Down," offers a critique of the cult of speed and argues for a more sustainable approach to life.
