More about the book

The book critiques the impact of corporate food and medicine industries on global health and the environment, highlighting the destructive practices of major companies like Wal-Mart, GlaxoSmithKline, and Monsanto. Stan Cox connects the dots between profit-driven motives and significant environmental harm, such as water contamination in South Asia and threats to food supplies from natural gas depletion. He argues that while personal efforts for sustainability are important, they must be integrated into a broader economic framework focused on ecological health to address the crises facing the planet.
