Synopsis
With a new epilogue about how we can resist the billionaires&’ war on lifeWidespread poverty, social unrest, and economic polarization have become our lived reality as the top 1% of the world&’s seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet―and all its people―to the social and ecological brink.In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the billionaire dictators of Gates, Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as other modern empires like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced uniformity and monocultures, division and separation, monopolies and external control―over finance, food, energy, information, healthcare, and even relationships.Basing her analysis on explosive facts, Shiva exposes the 1%&’s model of philanthrocapitalism, which is about deploying unaccountable money to bypass democratic structures, derail diversity, and impose totalitarian ideas based on One Science, One Agriculture, and One History. Instead, Shiva calls for the resurgence of:Real knowledgeReal intelligenceReal wealthReal workReal well-beingWith these core goals, people can reclaim their right to: Live Free. Think Free. Breathe Free. Eat Free.&“All of us who care about the future of Planet Earth must be grateful to Vandana Shiva. Her voice is powerful, and she is not afraid to tackle those corporate giants that are polluting, degrading and ultimately destroying the natural world.&”—Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace
