Description: 'The Trajectory of Change' charts a course for the growing, international movement against global corporatization. Michael Albert, a longtime activist and analyst of popular struggles, challenges us to build a broad-based and effective movement for social change.

Review(s): "Cross global activism with common sense, and you get Michael Albert's new book, 'The Trajectory of Change'. It's clear, useful, and short. You will not agree with all of his suggestions, but this book will start you thinking: what would work? How do we solve the real problems of our movement?" - Mike Prokosch, director of the global economy program at United for a Fair Economy

"In the clearest of language, Michael Albert lays bare the weaknesses of the left and points to the opportunities ahead. Eschewing cynicism and defeatism, he outlines positive alternatives that will attract and retain social activists, and, most importantly, achieve tangible victories. If you're tired of complaining about the ills of capitalism and ready to articulate what we want and how to get there, read this book." - Medea Benjamin, founding director of Global Exchange and active Green Party member

"'The Trajectory of Change' could just as easily have been entitled 'passing the word' because it summarizes some of the key lessons - pluses and minuses - of the work of the US Left over the last 30+ years. These are lessons and observations of great value to all activists, but especially those new to progressive and Left politics. Written in an accessible manner and profoundly thought-provoking, this book helps us to remember that a movement of resistance to oppression is essential; a movement with vision and strategy is compelling." - Bill Fletcher, Jr., national organizer for the Black Radical Congress
