Description
As European empires crumbled in the 20th century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation. Yet, instead of a rebirth for democracy, what emerged was a silent coup β namely, the unstoppable rise of global corporate power.
Exposing the origins of this epic power grab as well as its present-day consequences, Silent Coup is the result of two investigative journalists' reports from 30 countries around the world. It provides an explosive guide to the rise of a corporate empire that now dictates how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, and how justice is defined.
