★★☆☆☆
doesn't fly
The author claims we built infrastructure for countries who couldn't/didn't pay us for them. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me. I don't doubt that there are social and environmental problems associated with oil production and these should be addressed, but this book does not really make sense. Would the world be better off without globalization? How would backwards countries ever get started on the road to a modern state? Remember along with some negatives, a modern state means health care, education etc. The author suggests that corporations should have as their major goal helping poor countries rather than profits. Bet they wouldn't be major corporations very long with that attitude and by the way, What would the stockholders think? Bottom line, the author doesn't make his case.
