Review Quotes: "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 and The Shock Doctrine
--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 "Our economic system now depends upon transforming emergency relief, incarceration and the processing of asylum seekers into profits ... [an] unnerving and convincing book."
--Owen Hatherley, Guardian "Antony Loewenstein offers us a superb description of the diminishing power of national governments and international organisations to exercise power in the modern world."
--Robert J. Burrowes, Lahore Times
