Reviews
"Loretta Napoleoni's devilishly enjoyable journey into the money veins of the new global order--from sex slavery to fad-diet slavery ... is truly incredibly original." --Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy " Rogue Economics offers a fascinating view of how terribly wrong things have gone." --John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man "Timely and fascinating, Napoleoni's top-notch reporting, in which her attention turns from Viagra to blood diamonds to the banana price wars in a few pages, works in the vein of Freakonomics , and Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation , but much grimmer." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
Economist Napoleoni argues that the world is undergoing rapid and unexpected transformations fueled by what she calls rogue economics. From Eastern Europe's booming sex trade industry to China's "online sweatshops," this work exposes the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace., What do Eastern Europe's booming sex trade, America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, China's fake goods industry, and celebrity philanthropy in Africa have in common? With biopirates trolling the blood industry, fish-farming bandits ravaging the high seas, pornography developing virtually in Second Life, and games like World of Warcraft spawning online sweatshops, how are rogue industries transmuting into global empires? And will the entire system be transformed by the advent of sharia economics? With the precision of an economist and the narrative deftness of a storyteller, syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni examines how the world is being reshaped by dark economic forces, creating victims out of millions of ordinary people whose lives have become trapped inside a fantasy world of consumerism. Napoleoni reveals the architecture of our world, and in doing so provides fresh insight into many of the most insoluble problems of our era., In a shocking expos , renowned economist Napoleoni unearths the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace.
