  Guardian | Mike Woodin
At a time when politicians are increasingly viewed as cynical and self-serving, the career of Mike Woodin, who has died of cancer aged 38, was a reminder that honesty, intelligence and humanity can still thrive in public life.
Woodin was deeply critical of neo-liberal economics and the unquestioning pursuit of profit and materialism, and his psychological training led him to analyse the impact of globalisation not only in economic terms but also in terms of its impact on people's lives and hopes.
Woodin spent much of the last 18 months working on Green Alternatives To Globalisation: A Manifesto, which we co-wrote, and was published earlier this year.

 Weekly Worker 552 - Thursday November 11 2004
I don’t know if Mike Martin has been reading my articles lately but, if he has, the comrade may have noticed something of a recurring theme since late August: the US presidential elections.
I read Mike Macnair’s review of the late Mike Woodin’s book Green alternatives to globalisation with an increasing sense of amazement and, eventually, disgust (November 4).
Mike Woodin was probably the best loved and most energetic proponent of green politics in the UK over the last 10 years and to suggest that his programme for social change is “proto-fascist” is nothing short of a disgrace.

Dr Mike Woodin, who has died from cancer at the cruelly young age of 38, was everything a Green politician should be, combining a radical and inspiring vision of how the world could be together with the practical policies to get us there.
