Product Description

Product Description

Respected economist and journalist Loretta Napoleoni shows 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. A world built by organisations both private and public which have accumulated vast fortunes and enormous political influence by regulating, containing and manipulating the market to their own advantage.

'When you're ready to take a big leap beyond Freak-o-nomics, strap yourself in for Rogue-o-nomics, Loretta Napoleoni's devilishly enjoyable journey into the money veins of the new global order' ---Greg Palast , author of THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY and ARMED MADHOUSE.


About the Author

Loretta Napoleoni is the best selling author of Terror Incorporated and Insurgent Iraq. She is an expert on financing of terrorism and advises several governments on counter-terrorism. She is senior partner of G Risk, a London based risk agency. As Chairman of the countering terrorism financing group for the Club de Madrid, Napoleoni brought heads of state from around the world together to create a new strategy for combating the financing of terror networks.

Born and raised in Rome, in the mid 1970s Loretta Napoleoni became an active member of the feminist movement and a political activist. She was a Fulbright scholar at Johns Hopkins University s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington DC and a Rotary Scholar at the London School of Economics. As an economist she worked for several banks and international organizations in Europe and the US. In the early 1980s she worked at the National Bank of Hungary on the convertibility of the florin that became the blue print for the convertibility of the ruble a decade later.

Ms Napoleoni is also a journalist and has worked as a foreign correspondent for several Italian financial papers. Her work appears regularly in many journals and publications, including several European newspapers. She lectures regularly on the financing of terrorism. She has written novels, guide books in Italian and translated and edited books on terrorism; her most recent novel, Dossier Baghdad, is a financial thriller set during the Gulf War. She was among the few people to interview the Red Brigades in Italy after three decades of silence.

Loretta Napoleoni lives in London and Whitefish, Montana, with her husband and their children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 10 Jan 2009
By F. M. Baro (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book expecting to read another "Freakonomics" or "Undercover Economist" but I found it extremely sensationnalist, full of stereotypes and cheap "cultural" explanations. The chapter explaining why piracy is a natural consequence of chinese culture is particularily simplistic.
If Freakonomics gives you a new way of seeing things, this book has got more of a tabloid feel.
Definitely not recommended.
