Susan George is one of my favorite contemporary authors. As you can see, her previously published The Lugano Report is on my essential readings list. She is one of the cleverest authors on the left which she demonstrated in the latter book, and appears to be doing so in her latest book. Her literary medium is the most piercing satire of the rich ruling classes imaginable.
I'm not sure that this liberal writer for The Guardian quite got George's irony when she wrote this:
If George can seem obsessed with secret cabals hatching grand plans for world domination, she's quick to say she does not believe in conspiracies – only interests and well-thought-out strategies to further them.Essentially George is attacking the neoliberal order which is creating islands of the very rich and powerful amidst oceans of poor everywhere in the world.
