Product description

The book "The Plunder of the Poor" by author John Medley consists of two parts: the first part: The Plunder of the Poor - Transnational Companies and the Exploitation of Resources in Developing Countries; the second part: The Plunder of the Poor - Humans in the World of Monopolistic Clusters. Transnational companies are tools of market tyranny, spreading across the country like cancer, inhabiting the most vital countries, destroying livelihoods, displacing millions of people, weakening democratic institutions, and feeding on life in their relentless pursuit of money, as the book describes. This book's pages include comprehensive economic coverage of the activities of these companies in developing countries. These activities mainly involve food, agriculture, forests, fishing, water supplies, health, mining, manufacturing, energy, tourism, and public relations. The book also monitors the boycott activities faced by these companies and the struggle of civil society organizations and other popular groups to change their behavior, and discusses alternatives that peoples can rely on to confront the tyranny of transnational companies.
