Eagerly awaited around the globe (translation rights have already been sold throughout several continents), economist Napoleoni's account of the rapid and unexpected great transformations taking place in the world today is based on top-to-bottom primary-source interviews from banking executives in New York to Russian prostitutes to London morgue workers, and grounded in the author's personal experience in international finance. From Eastern Europe's booming sex trade industry to China's "online sweatshops," from al-Qaeda's underwriters to America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, Rogue Economics exposes the paradoxical economic connections of the new global marketplace.
Napoleoni is one of the world's leading experts on money laundering and terror financing. A former Fulbright scholar, she holds a PhD in economics, an MA in international relations and economics from Johns Hopkins University, and an MPhil in terrorism from the London School of Economics.
