Book description
With a new epilogue about Bill Gates’s global agenda and how we can resist the billionaires’ war on life“This is what globalization looks like: Opportunism. Exploitation. Further centralization of power. Further disempowerment of ordinary people… . Vandana Shiva is an expert whose analysis has helped us understand this situation much more deeply. ”—Russell BrandWidespread poverty, social unrest, and economic polarization have become our lived reality as the top 1% of the world’s seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet―and all its people―to the social and ecological brink.In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the billionaire dictators of Gates, Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as other modern empires like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced uniformity and monocultures, division and separation, monopolies and external control―over finance, food, energy, information, healthcare, and even relationships.Basing her analysis on explosive facts, Shiva exposes the 1%’s model of philanthrocapitalism, which is about deploying unaccountable money to bypass democratic structures, derail diversity, and impose totalitarian ideas based on One Science, One Agriculture, and One History. Instead, Shiva calls for the resurgence of:• Real knowledge• Real intelligence• Real wealth• Real work• Real well-beingWith these core goals, people can reclaim their right to: Live Free. Think Free. Breathe Free. Eat Free.

I'm addicted to this app's ability to turn mundane moments into opportunities for intellectual growth. Bookmarks have become my study companion. I can easily revisit important passages in my audiobooks. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre. An absolutely stellar production from start to finish! The narrator's command of pacing and tone was masterful, knowing exactly when to speed up for excitement or slow down for dramatic effect. The audio quality was pristine with no distracting mouth sounds or uneven volume.
