Critics Review
‘Torres-Marenco illuminates and critiques the neoliberal shift that has enabled transnational business to extract wealth – beyond damage – under weakened governments that no longer support the basic human rights of peasant and indigenous communities.

It opens us to a whole new world of market-justice research.’
