Description
Vultures' Picnic is a hard-hitting investigation into the oil and banking industries, revealing how corporate vultures feed on the weak and ruin our planet. Greg Palast's globetrotting exposé uncovers the connections between energy and finance, exposing environmental disasters caused by corporate corruption and failed legislation. Palast's team of investigators reveals how international agencies such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank act as puppets for Big Oil, allowing them to slip regulation and destroy rules that they themselves can't write. From the Arctic to Africa to the online marketplaces, this investigation takes a critical look at the big powers in the money and oil game. Through his work, Palast shows how everyday people are taken advantage of by these powerful interests, highlighting the need for greater accountability and regulation.
