Misha Glenny Livres

Qui gouverne vraiment l'économie mondiale? D'où viennent les capitaux qui l'ont irriguée au temps du libéralisme triomphant? Au terme d'une enquête planétaire, Misha Glenny dévoile la face cachée de l'économie "propre". Pillage des matières premières en Russie, trafic d'armes et prostitution dans les Balkans, narcotrafic en Amérique latine, transport de clandestins chinois, blanchiment dans les émirats du Golfe ou en Occident: les plus grandes opérations mafieuses des années 1990 se sont développées grâce à l'appui des États. Mais, en quinze ans, les parrains et les tueurs des réseaux traditionnels se sont reconvertis en capitalistes de talent, qui travaillent dans le plus pur style des multinationales. Des gangs de l'or à Bombay aux nouveaux caïds de Tel-Aviv, en passant par les escrocs nigérians ou les "têtes de serpent" de Shanghai, McMafia est un voyage dans un monde secret, aux personnages terrifiants et parfois attachants. Dans cette enquête exceptionnelle, globale, qui met au jour des liens cachés entre les différentes "pieuvres" de la planète, Misha Glenny raconte la part souterraine de la mondialisation.
