As the world's billionaire class reaps record profits and global
inequalities further divide nations and communities, this anthology
compiled by renown activist Dr. Vandana Shiva pulls back the
curtain on how ruthless capitalistic exploitation branded as
philanthropic altruism forges a direct path to global destruction.
Philanthrocapitalism and the Erosion of Demo cracy: A Global
Citizens' Report on the Corporate Control of Technology, Health,
and Agriculture details how global philanthrocapitalist
organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and
affiliated entities effectively monopolize and privatize common
land for food production in a manner that jeopardizes public health
around the globe. Through various initiatives, sub-organizations,
development schemes, and funding mechanisms, the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation's empire in particular weaves an intricate network
of power and influence designed to ensnare local communities and
traditions in an unwavering pursuit of profit and market expansion.
Philanthrocapitalism and the Erosion of Democracy calls to account
problematic initiatives that serve to corrode the integrity of
democratic institutions, often under a banner of future-oriented
innovation. This book lays bare the destructive power of overly
capitalistic systems that enable mass human suffering and
environmental catastrophe via the entanglement of private
investment and public policy. This democratic emergency is analyzed
in detail by leading experts and civil society movements' leaders,

Nicoletta Dentico, Fernando Cabaleiro, Seth Itzkan, Dru Jay, Satish
