Description

Rogue Economics: Capitalism's New Reality By Loretta Napoleoni, Seven Stories Press, 2008, Hardcover, 307 pages. The global economy is being reshaped by dark economic forces. From the sex trade in Eastern Europe to subprime mortgage lending scandals in America, and from China's fake goods industry to celebrity philanthropy in Africa, a new world of exploitation has emerged. Syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni examines how these rogue industries are creating victims out of millions of ordinary people whose lives have become trapped inside a fantasy world of consumerism. Napoleoni reveals the architecture of our world and provides fresh insight into many of the most insoluble problems of our era. With precision as an economist and narrative deftness, she explores how biopirates, fish-farming bandits, and online sweatshops are transforming industries and creating global empires.
