Rogue economics: capitalism's new reality
With biopirates trolling the blood industry, fish-farming bandits ravaging the high seas and games like World of Warcraft spawning online sweatshops, how are rogue industries transmutting into global empires? With the precision of an economist and the narrative deftness of a storyteller, syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni examines how the world is being reshaped by dark economic forces, creating victims out of millions of ordinary people whose lives have become trapped inside a fantasy world of consumerism.
