In 2000 No Logo described a vision of rapacious
corporations building brands at the expense of
impoverished third world employees and ripped-off first
world consumers. Now, only eight years later, No Logo
looks almost optimistic against the rise of a new and
insidious club of global billionaires who are buying up
once unfashionable industries like oil, steel, shipping
and mining from distressed third-world nations and
formerly Communist powers. Often backed by mafia money
or dubious political connections, these oligarchs have
no shareholders and no home nation - they are the sum
total of their corporations. We are dependent on these
men - they fuelled our recent boom. They come to us for
our light taxation and our willingness to sell them
class and influence via an Eton education for their kids
and cheaply bought honours. These men are becoming ever
richer as the rest of the world suffers credit crunch
and recession. They deal in the commodities that the
planet's economies need but which are becoming ever more
scarce. There are no national governments that can
control or legislate against them - they will simply
move to another of their five or six palatial homes. In
this recession, we are all acutely aware of our
dwindling wealth and the spiralling prices of
essentials. The fact that these are in fewer and nastier
hands than ever before has rarely - if ever - been
explained by the media. It's time for a book that points
out the power of these individuals and how they are just
the start of a deeply worrying trend. The buyers of
Tescopoly and No Logo have long been aware of overly
powerful corporations. The rise of men whose personal
wealth and power far outranks most of the companies in
these books should alarm these concerned citizens - and
encourage them to find out more. This book will paint a
vivid picture using interviews, first hand experience,
expert comment and some futurology to give them the
information they need.
