In the wake of the global financial crisis, and ongoing savage
government cuts across the world, Garry Leech addresses a pressing
and necessary topic: the nature of contemporary capitalism, and how
it inherently generates inequality and structural violence. Drawing
on a number of fascinating case studies from across the world -
including the forced displacement of farmers in Mexico, farmer
suicides in India, and deaths from preventable and treatable
diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the unsustainable
exploitation of the planet's natural resources - Leech
provocatively argues that global capitalism constitutes a form of
genocide against the poor, particularly in the global South.
Essential and eye-opening the book questions the legitimacy of a
system that inevitably results in such large-scale human suffering,
while going beyond mere critique to offer a more egalitarian,
democratic and sustainable global alternative.
