{"product_id":"rogue-economics-isbn-9781583228821","title":"Rogue Economics","description":"What do Eastern Europe's booming sex trade, America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, China’s fake goods industry, and celebrity philanthropy in Africa have in common? With biopirates trolling the blood industry, fish-farming bandits ravaging the high seas, pornography developing virtually in Second Life, and games like World of Warcraft spawning online sweatshops, how are rogue industries transmuting into global empires? And will the entire system be transformed by the advent of sharia economics? 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. Napoleoni reveals the architecture of our world, and in doing so provides fresh insight into many of the most insoluble problems of our era.“Loretta Napoleoni's devilishly enjoyable journey into the money veins of the new global order—from sex slavery to fad-diet slavery … is truly incredibly original.” \u003cb\u003e—Greg Palast, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Best Democracy Money Can Buy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eRogue Economics\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating view of how terribly wrong things have gone.” \u003cb\u003e—John Perkins, author of \u003ci\u003eConfessions of an Economic Hit Man\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Timely and fascinating, Napoleoni's top-notch reporting, in which her attention turns from Viagra to blood diamonds to the banana price wars in a few pages, works in the vein of \u003ci\u003eFreakonomics\u003c\/i\u003e, and Eric Schlosser's \u003ci\u003eFast Food Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, but much grimmer.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman of the Left who garners praise from Noam Chomsky and Greg Palast at the same time as she is quoted respectfully in \u003ci\u003eForbes\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eLORETTA NAPOLEONI\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1955 in Rome.
