Résumé
Borders draw one map of the world ; money draws another. The map of the globe shows the world we think we know : sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens' rights. But beneath, above and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful.
Atossa Ataxia Abrahamian reveals this hidden globe, and exposes how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists and visionary statesmen have masterminded its export in the form of free-trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centres, and charter cities. By mapping the invisible geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order, The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages and inspires.
