Abstract: Economist and syndicated journalist Loretta Napoleoni argues that the world is undergoing rapid and unexpected great transformations fueled by what she calls rogue economics. Napoleoni's account is based on top-to-bottom primary-source interviews and grounded in the author's personal experience in international finance. From Eastern Europe's booming sex trade industry to China's "online sweatshops", from al-Qaeda's underwriters to America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, this book exposes the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace.
