About this listen

What if the way we understand our world is wrong? What if it isn't politicians and events that shape our lives but secret deals made by people you've never heard of?

This book tells the story of the secret deals that are changing the world and revolutionising everything we do, including money, the food we eat, what we buy and the drugs we take to stay well.

These deals never make the news: they are made high up in boardrooms, on golf courses and in luxury cars, each sealed by world-changing handshakes. This is the story of those handshakes.

Wow! This is a hard book to not listen to in one go. Packed with insightful and well researched information that really does make you see things very differently. Well read and an easy listen despite covering a range of subjects.

Highly recommend for all.

I just got so depressed while listening to this book, but not in a bad way, just made me think.. what am I doing to make sure I am not fodder for the ultra rich. The last chapter sums up the whole book and put everything into perspective and context. Great book, very inspiring!!

Keep with it!

It's all there, we just don't pay attention.
Knowing wouldn't change much as we're to stupid to fight back. Governments are to weak and they are part of it, for the sake of the economic growth we loose 3 times on medical expenses.. We are not smart at all..

Deals that no one should know about

I think a better title would have been the deals that destroyed the world. It reveals many of the flaws in our modern 'capitalist' economy. A well written and interesting book though which I would recommend to anyone interested in the state of the modern world.

Eye opening book
