Reviews"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, "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 "Her fierce intellect and her disarmingly friendly, accessible manner have made her a valuable advocate for people all over the developing world." --Ms. magazine "A rock star in the worldwide battle against genetically modified seeds." --Bill Moyers "Shiva is a burst of creative energy, an intellectual power." --The Progressive "One of the world's most prominent radical scientists." --The Guardian, "Her fierce intellect and her disarmingly friendly, accessible manner have made her a valuable advocate for people all over the developing world."--Ms. magazine

SynopsisWith a new epilogue about how we can resist the billionaires' war on life Widespread 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 planetand all its peopleto 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 controlover 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 knowledge Real intelligence Real wealth Real work Real well-being With 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, In Oneness vs. the 1%, world-renowned activist Vandana Shiva takes on the Billionaires Club of Gates, Zuckerberg, and others, whose greed has wrought havoc across the globe. Widespread poverty and malnutrition, a refugee crisis, social unrest, economic polarization and the spread of diseases, such as the coronavirus, have become our lived reality. Meanwhile the top 1% of the world's seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet-and all its people-to the social and ecological brink of extinction by deploying unaccountable money to bypass democratic structures, derail diversity and impose totalitarian ideas dictated by a mechanistic and militaristic worldview. But we can seed another future when we deepen our democracies, reclaim our commons, and regenerate the earth "rich in our diversity and freedom, one in our unity and interconnectedness." This, then, is a healthier, necessary way forward-where humans reconnect to other life. This is the Oneness we must fight for. Book jacket., With a new epilogue about Bill Gates's global agenda and how we can resist the billionaires' war on life "This is what globalization looks like: Opportunism. Exploitation. Further centralization of power. Further disempowerment of ordinary people. . . . Vandana Shiva is an expert whose analysis has helped us understand this situation much more deeply."--Russell Brand Widespread 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 planetand all its peopleto the social and ecological brink.
