While working for the Financial Times, investigative journalist Matt Kennard had unparalleled access to the elite of the global elite. Over four years, he gathered honest testimony from the horse's mouth on how the global economic system operates, revealing a shocking truth: the world is run by an exclusive class of American racketeers with virtually unlimited weapons and money, and their reach is dangerously close to home. However, due to the nature of the Financial Times, Kennard was unable to publish these findings as part of his day job. Enter The Racket, a fully updated second edition that will transform everything you thought you knew about how the world works and in whose interests. Kennard reports from across the United States, the United Kingdom, the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, providing startlingly clear and concrete evidence of unchecked, high-level, interrelated systems of exploitation all over the world. At the same time, he offers a glimpse of a developing resistance that needs to win. This 2nd edition includes a new preface by the author and a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, making it more relevant than ever.
