mogreig's review against another edition
4.0
How Britain has influenced and controlled countries and societies for decades and continues to use spurious means to create and safe guard wealth for the few at the cost of the many.
This book should really be essential reading for students.

I think it was due back to the library which is why I didn't finish it, but I did read as much as I could and it was so interesting, the conclusion was particularly good and there are lots of action I noted from it

I saw the author Kojo Koram speak at Ake Literary Festival and I had to get a copy of his book. This is what I call required reading. Koram does an exceptional job of showcasing how Britain continues to use captialism to exploit other countries. It was in read this book that I learnt about how British Petroluem came to be and how to this day Britian benefits from them as a company.
I particularly enjoyed the chapter about Jamaica, the IMF, Manley. If you love history, if you are curious about the British empire continues to empire, I highly recommend reading this.
I will say, the book can read a bit academic at times, but if you push pass that, you will learn a lot.
