woman of the Left who garners praise from Noam Chomsky and Greg Palast at the same time as she is quoted respectfully in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, LORETTA NAPOLEONI was born in 1955 in Rome.

Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. She began her career as an economist, and went on to work as London correspondent and columnist for La Stampa, La Repubblica and La Pa s. Napoleoni is the author of the international bestsellers Rogue Economics- Capitalism’s New Reality and Terror Incorporated- Tracing the Money Behind Global Terrorism.
