Book Launch: Rogue Economics

The PCR Project presents a book launch with author Loretta Napoleoni on Rogue Economics: Capitalism's New Reality

In ROGUE ECONOMICS (Seven Stories Press; April 2, 2008) Napoleoni lays out a brilliant historical assessment of the dark economic forces unleashed by the spread of democracy into geopolitical areas formerly ruled by oppressive or repressive regimes. The sex trade, the drug trade, the swift rise of the super-rich, and the growth of counterfeiters, she posits, will all inevitably rise during times of great economic upheaval, when politics can no longer inform the economic landscape. ROGUE ECONOMICS exposes the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace.

Loretta Napoleoni, an economist, former Fulbright Scholar, and an expert on terror finance networks, offers an unfiltered vision of our current global economy—from counterfeiters and sex traders to gamers and the super-rich.
