Summary
Peter Phillips: The Giants
The Global Power Elite
It is clear that the survival of humanity depends more than ever before on the radical reform, if not the complete overthrow, of the system of global capitalism. The most pressing political question of our time is how to implement a global redistribution of wealth and power by returning resources to the poor majority, in order to balance the explosive - indeed deadly - contradictions of that system. If we want to achieve such a redistribution, we need to understand the global power structure. That was the goal of this research by Professor Phillips and he really achieved it! Using the tools of social science research and documentation, Phillips identifies the vast networks of transnational corporate power that shape the lives of every human being on our planet. This timely and critically important study answers the question: "Who rules the world?"
Even Adam Smith warned that the "masters of mankind" would follow their heinous maxim: All for themselves, nothing for others. There is hardly a more apt description of the era of rampant capitalism, which has soared to new heights under the auspices of Trump's antics. Who are the masters? This extraordinary research provides detailed and often shocking revelations about the concentration of private wealth and corporate power, its institutions and integrated structure, and ultimately, the threat to civilized and humane existence. - Noam Chomsky
Peter Phillips' book Giants exposes the networks of power that connect the world's richest individuals and organizations and the ideological justifications that maintain that power. This impeccable and original research is a passionate call to action and the result of Phillips' enduring commitment to social justice and human rights. For anyone who wants to understand socioeconomic inequality in the 21st century, this book is essential reading and a key inspiration for creating a better world. - Andy Lee Roth, Associate Director of the Censored
