| Summary |
"The Silent Takeover explains how corporations in the age of globalization are changing our lives, our society, and our future - and are threatening the very basis of our democracy." "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 riches. In the face of these unacceptable extremes, Noreena Hertz outlines a new agenda to revitalize politics and renew democracy."--BOOK JACKET |
