Rogue economics

by Loretta Napoleoni

Economist and syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni argues that the world is undergoing rapid and unexpected great transformations fueled by what she calls rogue economics. Napoleoni's account is based on top-to-bottom primary-source interviews and grounded in the author's personal experience in international finance. From Eastern Europe's booming sex trade industry to China's "online sweatshops", from al-Qaeda's underwriters to America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, this book exposes the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace.
