This is a great book * David Harvey, CUNY * This new edition of the Unholy Trinity offers a timely and razor-sharp analysis of the predicament the world economy is in today and how we got there. With characteristic panache, Peet shows why neoliberal orthodoxy got it so totally wrong and details its disastrous social and economic consequences. A must read for those who wish to understand who is responsible, and what needs to be done to turn the world into a more genuinely humanising place for all. * Erik Swyngedouw, University of Manchester * Unholy Trinity provides an important history lesson of how the IMF, World Bank, and WTO were twisted from their original mandates to serve the interests of corporate globalization. * John Cavanagh, Institute for Policy Studies * Invaluable to students and activists alike, this is the essential introduction to the unelected government of the world economy. * Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums * This is a terrific book...It is politically committed, theoretically sophisticated, analytically incisive, empirically rich, thoroughly engaged, and full of devastating one-liners that greatly enliven its reading. * Roger Lee, Economic Geography *
