Oneness vs. the 1%

Widespread poverty and malnutrition an alarming refugee crisis social unresteconomic polarisation 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 Billionaires Club of Gates Buffett Zuckerberg and other modern Mughals 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 monoculture division and separation monopolies and external control―over finance food energy information healthcare and even relationships. Basing her analysis on explosive little-known facts Shiva exposes the 1%’s model of philanthrocapitalism which is about deploying unaccountable money to bypass democratic structures derail diversity and impose totalitarianism so that people can reclaim their right to live free think free breathe free eat free.
