Book Description:
Vandana Shiva, "the world’s most prominent radical scientist" (the Guardian), exposes yet another corporate maneuver to convert a critical world resource into a profitable commodity. Using the global water trade as a lens, she highlights the destruction of the earth and the disenfranchisement of the world’s poor as they lose their right to a life-sustaining common good.
