About this product

Product Information

Of the world's 100 largest economies, 51 are now corporations, only 49 are nation-states. The sales of General Motors and Ford are greater than the gross domestic product of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and Wal-Mart now has a turnover higher than the revenues of most of the states of Eastern Europe. Yet few of us understand fully the growing dominance of big business. Widely acclaimed economist Noreena Hertz brilliantly reveals how corporations across the world manipulate and pressure governments by means both legal and illegal; how protest is becoming a more effective political weapon than the ballot-box; and how corporations are taking over from the state responsibility for everything from providing technology for schools to healthcare for the community. The Silent Takeover asks us to recognize the growing contradictions of a world divided between haves and have-nots, of gated communities next to ghettos, of extreme poverty and unbelievable wealth. In the face of these unacceptable extremes, Noreena Hertz outlines a new agenda to revitalize politics and renew democracy.

  • The report you wish was fiction

    A controversial book due to its sensitive contents, The Silent Takeover is simply one of those research reports you have to read. Items you've noticed, or maybe just suspected about business, marketing, corporate megaliths, and the schemes utilized for success are meticulously outlined and documented in Hertz's book. I bought this book more on a whim of curiosity than any personal interest in global capitalism, but ever since I couldn't put it down. Prepare for surprises; the items detailed with tug at your emotions, even play with your credulity as you hunt the documented sources. The bottom line is, this book will open your eyes to a whole amazing new world of mischief--that's going on right under our noses.
