With a new epilogue about Bill Gates's global agenda and how we can
resist the billionaires' war on life
"This is what globalization looks like: Opportunism. Exploitation.
Further centralization of power. Further disempowerment of ordinary
people. . . . Vandana Shiva is an expert whose analysis has helped us
understand this situation much more deeply."--Russell Brand
Widespread poverty, social unrest, and economic polarization 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 billionaire
dictators of Gates, Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as other modern
empires like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, whose blindness to the
rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of
linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their
single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced uniformity
and monocultures, division and separation, monopolies and external
control―over finance, food, energy, information, healthcare, and even
relationships.
Basing her analysis on explosive facts, Shiva exposes the 1%'s model of
philanthrocapitalism, which is about deploying unaccountable money to
bypass democratic structures, derail diversity, and impose totalitarian
ideas based on One Science, One Agriculture, and One History. Instead,
Shiva calls for the resurgence of:
-
Real knowledge
-
Real intelligence
-
Real wealth
-
Real work
-
Real well-being
With these core goals, people can reclaim their right to: Live Free.
Think Free. Breathe Free. Eat Free.
