PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Award-winning activist and bestselling author Vandana Shiva exposes the unaccountable actions of the ultra-rich and takes her place at the forefront of the fightback.
Description
Widespread poverty and malnutrition, an alarming refugee crisis, social unrest, economic polarisation have become our lived reality as the top 1% of the world's seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet-and all its people to the social and ecological brink. In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the Billionaires Club of Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg and other modern Mughals, whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world.
Critic Reviews
