Shiva, Vandana,
Oneness vs. the 1% : shattering illusions, seeding freedom / Vandana Shiva with Kartikey Shiva. - xiii, 176 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 22 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-183) and index.
1% vs. one earth, one humanity -- The money machine of the 1% -- The technology machine of the 1% -- How the 1% subverts democracy.
"Widespread poverty and malnutrition, an alarming refugee crisis, social unrest, economic polarisation 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 Billionaires Club of Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg and other modern Mughals, 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 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 little-known 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. She calls for the "resurgence of real knowledge, real intelligence, real wealth, real work, real well-being", so that people can reclaim their right to: Live Free. Think Free. Breath Free. Eat Free." -- Provided by publisher.
