“The NGO-ization of politics threatens to turn resistance into a well-mannered, reasonable, salaried, 9-to-5 job. With a few perks thrown in. Real resistance has real consequences. And no salary.”

Roy further expands on the role of NGOs, corporate funding, and the flow of international capital in this short but highly informative collection of essays. The collection focuses mainly on disproportionate wealth in India, and how the wealthy manipulate the government, manipulate the media, manipulate the message, and so on. In addition, there are several case studies focusing on American occupation in Afghanistan and tying that in with the rise of the global market. Very interesting and I can’t wait to find out more information.
