Used book – The New Masters of the World, Jean Ziegler

Today, every day around the world, 100,000 people die of hunger or its immediate consequences, victims of one imperative, and one alone, imposed by the masters of the world: unlimited profit. At the heart of the globalized market, the predator. Bankers, senior executives of transnational corporations, global trade operators accumulate money, destroy the state, devastate nature and human beings. This book reveals their faces, analyzes their discourse, denounces their methods, and the mercenaries who serve them within the WTO, the World Bank, and the IMF, and deconstructs the ideology that inspires them, shedding harsh light on the role played by the American empire. Faced with these new masters, resistance is organizing. It is this new global civil society that Jean Ziegler reveals here in all its richness, diversity, and determination.
