Summary
In the words of the author, "Something [is] fundamentally wrong with our present global economic situation. The corporate and political powers have contorted and stacked the decks of the financial machinery that runs the earth in such a way that rewards the rich and extracts payments from the poor" Duncan's text helps readers understand global economic forces at work, and he connects the dots between what happens "here" and what happens "there."--Jacket
