Economist and best-selling author Loretta Napoleoni traces the
link between the finances of the war on terror and the global
economic crisis, finding connections from Dubai to London to Las
Vegas that politicians and the media have at best ignored. In
launching military and propaganda wars in the Middle East, America
overlooked the war of economic independence waged by Al-Qaeda. The
Patriot Act boosted the black market economy, and the war on terror
prompted a rise in oil prices that led to food riots and distracted
governments from the trillion-dollar machinations of Wall Street.
Consumers and taxpayers, spurred by propaganda fears, were lured
into crushing global debt. Napoleoni shows that if we do not face
up to the many serious connections between our response to 9/11 and
the financial crisis, we will never work our way out of the looming
global recession that now threatens our way of life.
While we feared that Al-Qaeda might destroy our world, Wall
Street ripped it apart.
