Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy (Bloomsbury, 2023)

As European empires crumbled in the twentieth century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation. Yet instead of a triumph of democracy, what emerged was a silent coup, an unstoppable rise of global corporate power.

Exposing the origins of this epic power grab as well as its present-day consequences, Silent Coup is the result of two investigative journalists’ reports from twenty-five countries around the world. It provides an explosive guide to the rise of a corporate empire that now dictates how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, how justice is defined, and who is safe.
