    Implosion: An Economic Thriller about War, Environmental Destruction and Corporate Greed

    Description

    ... there, at the main entrance of the World Bank was this large inscription

    "A World without Poverty Is Our Dream."

    He couldn't go wrong, he thought.

    Today, he often thinks the sentence should have been completed:

    ... And we make sure it will just remain a dream."

    In this riveting economic thriller, Paul Jordan, a renegade World Banker,
    and Moni Cheng, an Andean woman who leads a socio-environmental
    nongovernmental organization in the Peruvian Amazon, endure
    kidnappings, bombings, and deadly chases in their fight against boundless
    capitalism, destructive economic policies, and corporate greed that are
    wreaking worldwide social injustice and destroying the globe's richest
    zones of biodiversity.

    Together, Jordan and Cheng expose corporate ruthlessness, military
    brutality, and Machiavellian economic policies of the foremost financial
    ivory towers of Washington, the World Bank, and the International
    Monetary Fund. With other visionaries from around the globe, Jordan and
    Cheng untiringly disseminate truth and candid information about the
    calamities caused by this cruel machinery. And against all odds, they
    mobilize the power of the people.

    Richly detailed, grounded in actual events and statistics, and complete with
    notes from author and former World Bank economist Peter Koenig,
    Implosion is both an unsettling, gripping novel and a powerful commentary
    on the realities of the modern world's corporatocracy.
