The Lugano Report: On Preserving Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century

The Washington Post
"[The Lugano Report] comes to some disturbing conclusions as it follows the logic of capitalism ad infinitum."


Noam Chomsky
"With acid wit and sombre truths, The Lugano Report brilliantly portrays...a world that may be heading for deep trouble."


Victoria Brittain
"A brilliant, terrifying book which should be on the beside table of every policy maker in the West."


Book Description
This is a new edition of Susan George's acclaimed satire on capitalism. Fictional experts recruited by world leaders to discuss the future of global capitalism provide their assessment of the dire state of the current economy and put forward new ideas for ensuring the survival of the system. But at what cost? Susan George provides a brilliant and chilling vision of the way the winners in the globalisation game profit from poverty and reveals, with relentless logic, the dark future that lies ahead under capitalism. This new edition features a new introduction from the author.
