Summary

• Should 185 sovereign nations allow 750 giant corporations to invest corporate profits as they alone see fit, or must public authority be mobilized to protect public interest by reining in these economic behemoths as they roam the global markets? By integrating many fields of knowledge and bringing to bear their disparate viewpoints, Dr. Saari makes his own viewpoint clear: The people did not elect investment bankers and CEOs and neither group represents the people and the public interest.
• Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, empirical and analytical, this book is a compelling argument for offering others a place at the table and for giving them a voice in deciding how billions in world currencies should be spent or invested.
