Disaster capitalism - Antony Loewenstein

Disaster has become big business. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein travels across Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, the United States, Britain, Greece,
and Australia to witness the reality of disaster capitalism. He
discovers how companies cash in on
organized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers,
militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining.

What emerges through Loewenstein's reporting is a
dark history of multinational corporations that, with the aid of media
and political elites, have grown more powerful than national
governments. In the twenty-first century, the vulnerable have become the
world's most valuable commodity.
