The Silent Takeover de Noreena Hertz

The Silent Takeover

Autor Noreena Hertz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2002
The way we are governed is changing: governments have less power while the private sector has more. Noreena Hertz, a consultant both to governments and multinationals, challenges long-held assumptions about the nature of power in our society as we enter the 21st century, a time in which we can make more of an impact through our pockets than through the ballot box and how corporations in many parts of the world are taking over from the state responsibility for everything from providing technology for schools to health-care for the community.

Recenzii

“Dr Hertz is one of the world’s leading young thinkers, whose agenda-setting book on corporate power is already sparking intense debate on both sides of the Atlantic.” -- Observer
"We are living in an emerging global business civilisation. The Silent Takeover is the most compelling description yet of this new world, a call to arms to every citizen to reassert an idea of the public realm." Will Hutton "One of the world's leading young thinkers" Observer "Destined to leave a more lasting mark on our times" The Times "Dr. Hertz has taken the debate into new territory, which is why her book stands out from the crowd" Evening Standard "We are living in an emerging global business civilisation. The Silent Takeover is the most compelling description yet of this new world, a call to arms to every citizen to reassert an idea of the public realm." Will Hutton

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Of the world's 100 largest economies, 51 are now corporations, only 49 are nation-states. The sales of General Motors and Ford are greater than the gross domestic product of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and Wal-Mart now has a turnover higher than the revenues of most of the states of Eastern Europe. Yet few of us understand fully the growing dominance of big business.
Widely acclaimed economist Noreena Hertz brilliantly reveals how corporations across the world manipulate and pressure governments by means both legal and illegal; how protest is becoming a more effective political weapon than the ballot-box; and how corporations are taking over from the state responsibility for everything from providing technology for schools to healthcare for the community.
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 wealth. In the face of these unacceptable extremes, Noreena Hertz outlines a new agenda to revitalize politics and renew democracy.
