A Matter of Greed

Greed has always been a driving force in human lives and human history. Arindam Mukherjee shows how the greed of western expansionist civilizations has dominated not only their own history, but has come to dominate the entire world, to the great sorrow of the majority of the world's people. Using a broad range of sources and drawing upon the best insights of such thinkers as Noam Chomsky, William Blum, and Pepe Escobar, the author brilliantly analyzes the fundamental force driving the relentless string of tragedies in human affairs. A must read for anyone concerned with international peace and social justice.
