Noreena Hertz Books

"I.O.U. is a story of avarice, but also of vulnerability; of power asymmetries and misuse of power; of corrupt dictators and careless lenders; of Cold War interests and Wall Street pressure; of developing country governments who get given it, and developing country people who have no access to it. Noreena Hertz, one of the world's leading experts on economic globalisation, provides a radical blueprint for addressing the debt crisis. She argues that this is not an issue of left or right : this is an issue of right versus wrong; of peace versus war. It must be addressed now."--Jacket

The Silent Takeover is a provocative analysis of the impact of the continually increasing power of international business and finance and the resulting decline of government power.

'Indispensable, engaging and brilliant book about the pervasiveness of loneliness in the twenty-first century and its far-reaching impact...a hopeful book that couldn't be more important or timely.' Philippa Perry, author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

In a fast-moving world we're often overloaded with differing opinions, conflicting data and changing advice. In this guide, Noreena Hertz guides practical steps to how to make better, smarter decisions.

With grand announcements, recycled promises, and much hype about debt relief by the leaders of the world's rich creditor countries, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank since 1999, many of us can be forgiven for believing that the debt crisis of the world's poor countries is over. Far from it.
