  • 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.

  • #Batumi, you strange #Vegas-like city 🌃 on the #BlackSea in #Georgia where #Soviet grimness has been given (in parts) the hipster makeover while desperate poverty hits you at the fun fair. #holiday #art #sovietunion #magichour #architecture
  • Travel just outside most #Georgian towns and cities and the poverty is striking, a problem that affects one third of the population. #europe #nearborjomi #economy
  • Balcony bookshelf overlooks Ferris wheel 🎡 in #Batumi, a #LasVegas-style #Georgian city on the #BlackSea near the #Turkish border. Weird yet fascinating place with heaps of #Soviet architecture mixed with glistening new #highrises. #itaintvegas #holiday
  • #Georgian woman listens to exquisite live classical music in the #Borjomi public park, all highlighted under a surreal green glow. #georgia #holiday #seriousface #georgiantunes #music
