"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 "A journey into a world of mutated economics and corrupt politics that we ignore at our peril." --John Pilger "A devastating, incisive follow-up to Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine ." --Jeremy Scahill

Synopsis
A "keenly observed and timely investigation" of how capitalism makes a fortune from disaster, poverty and catastrophe--"a potent weapon for shock resistors around the world" (Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine ) Disaster has become big business. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein travels across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, the United States, Britain, Greece, and Australia to witness the reality of disaster capitalism. He discovers how companies cash in on organized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining. What emerges through Loewenstein's reporting is a dark history of multinational corporations that, with the aid of media and political elites, have grown more powerful than national governments. In the twenty-first century, the vulnerable have become the world's most valuable commodity., Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein trav.els across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, the United States, Britain, Greece, and Australia to witness the reality of disaster capitalism. He discovers how companies such as G4S, Serco, and Halliburton cash in on or.ganized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining...Disaster has become big business. Talking to immigrants stuck in limbo in Britain or visiting immigration centers in America, Loewenstein maps the secret networks formed to help cor.porations bleed what profits they can from economic crisis. He debates with Western contractors in Afghanistan, meets the locals in post-earthquake Haiti, and in Greece finds a country at the mercy of vulture profiteers. In Papua New Guinea, he sees a local commu.nity forced to rebel against predatory resource companies and NGOs...What emerges through Loewenstein's re.porting is a dark history of multinational corpo.rations that, with the aid of media and political elites, have grown more powerful than national governments. In the twenty-first century, the vulnerable have become the world's most valu.able commodity., Crisis? What crisis? How powerful corporations make a killing out of disaster Award-winning journalist Antony Loewenstein travels across the US, Britain, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea and Australia to witness the reality of Disaster Capitalism --the hidden world of privatized detention centers and militarized private security, formed to protect corporations as they profit from war zones. He visits Britain's immigration detention centers, tours the prison system in the United States, and digs into the underbelly of the companies making a fortune from them. Loewenstein reveals the dark history of how large multinational corporations have become more powerful than governments, supported by media and political elites.

This is a perfect example of what I would call "Very Good", you could tell it had some age on it, but it was obviously cared for. Lately, other sellers have been calling books "Very Good" that I wouldn't even call "Acceptable". A great value for the money for a quality item.
