Press Release

Loretta Napoleoni discusses the underside of the global economy in her book, Rogue Economics: Capitalism’s New Reality on January 14  at Cambridge Forum.

>From Eastern Europe’s booming sex industry to China’s “on-line sweatshops”, from al-Qaeda’s underwriters to America’s sub prime mortgage scandal, what is the un-reported function of rogue economics in the analysis of modern economic life?  How does the take-over of whole national economies by a small group of profiteering businesses that generate tremendous, highly concentrated profits by trapping millions of ordinary people into a fantasy world of consumerism impact the local and global marketplace?   Are these dark forces in our economic DNA or are there remedies and controls?

Loretta Napoleoni is one of the world’s leading experts on money laundering and terror financing; she holds a MA from Johns Hopkins and an MPhil in terrorism from the London School of Economics.  She is author of Terror Inc.: Tracing the Money Behind Global Terrorism.

Book signing courtesy of Harvard Book Store follows the program.
