La macchina del saccheggio. Signori della guerra, magnati, trafficanti e il furto sistematico delle ricchezze africane
Come è possibile che il continente più ricco sia anche il più povero? Petrolio, diamanti, oro, rame, ferro. Una fortuna e al contempo una maledizione. Dal Congo all'Angola, dalla Guinea alla Nigeria, le immense risorse africane non hanno ancora saputo porre un freno alla piaga della povertà. Perché? E soprattutto, dove vanno a finire i guadagni che scorrono a fiumi dallo sfruttamento delle risorse naturali? Cercando una risposta a queste domande, Tom Burgis si è spinto fino al cuore dell'Africa nera per incontrare magnati, smascherare governi-ombra e seguire flussi di denaro. Il risultato è un libro inchiesta che inchioda tutti alle proprie responsabilità, fino a far tremare istituzioni e multinazionali di tutto il mondo.

Mord, Korruption, schmutziges Geld - Tom Burgis, preisgekrönter Enthüllungsjournalist, recherchierte in dieser einmaligen Dokumentation die unfassbaren Dimensionen politischer und wirtschaftlicher Verbrechen. Nie vorher wurden so eindrücklichund tiefenscharf die tödlichen, missbräuchlichen und gewissenslosen Machenschaften von Banken, Geheimdiensten und Milliardären aufgedeckt und analysiert. Durch dieses Buch wird erstmals das unglaubliche, tatsächliche Ausmaß der uns täglich umgebenden und vor nichts haltmachenden Kriminalität sichtbar. Tom Burgis entlarvt ein globales Netzwerk, das strikt im Geheimen agiert, in das auch die vermeintlich unbestechlichen westlichen Regierungen verstrickt sind. Ein unfassbarer Bericht, der einem der Atem verschlägt. 'Spannend wie ein Thriller' wäre untertrieben.
