The Crime of Empire

"What the following data and conclusions point to is not just the reality of global poverty.
More importantly, what it seeks to unravel is the reality of system-driven global impoverishment and poverty-creation in support of global enrichment and wealth-creation—
a process of high crime and grand fraud made all the more pernicious, not just by its patent exploitativeness and extreme social injustice, but also by its "invisibility" and concealment by the blinders of the market. It is thus a perfect crime, until, of course, it is adequately exposed.
But, until then, it remains the world's best-kept secret."
