The forces of disaster capitalism are increasingly on the defensive, but their attacks on the global commons have expanded in the years since I wrote The Shock Doctrine. I am very grateful that Antony Loewenstein has brought his meticulous reporting to this subject, and the result is a keenly observed and timely investigation into rampant resource plunder, privatized detention centers, and an array of other forms of corporate rapacity on four continents. This book will serve as a potent weapon for shock resistors around the world. * Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything * A devastating, incisive follow-up to Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine * Jeremy Scahill, author of Dirty Wars * A journey into a world of mutated economics and corrupt politics that we ignore at our peril * John Pilger, author of New Rulers of the World * Chilling study, based on careful and courageous reporting, and illuminated with perceptive analysis, helps us understand all too well the saying that man is a wolf to man. * Noam Chomsky * Our economic system now depends upon transforming emergency relief, incarceration and the processing of asylum seekers into profits.
