  • The UN recently released its independent international fact-finding mission report on #Myanmar which encouraged the world to sever ties with the country’s military and the many companies, local and foreign, making $ from the brutal conflict. Thanks to @andalusiya, a wonderful lawyer in #Australia, she informed me that my last major book, ‘Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe’, via @versobooks, is referenced twice in the report. I don’t mention #Myanmar but explain how corporations make $ from misery across the globe from #Afghanistan to #PapuaNewGuinea. Consider it a global hammer against exploitation. The report mentions my book twice and I’ve posted one of them here.
