Dear all,
It’s now common to read about individuals and corporations aiming to turn a profit from war, immigration, aid or mining. For example, defence contractors are excited about escalating conflict in the Middle East. These are some of the issues I discuss in my new book, Disaster Capitalism: Making A Killing Out Of Catastrophe.
Here’s my latest:
– Strong Guardian book review of Disaster Capitalism.
– Rolling Stone interview about Disaster Capitalism.
– Broadcast on US C-SPAN Book TV of my New York launch of Disaster Capitalism in October with journalist and author Jeremy Scahill.
– Book event in New York at The New School along with Thor Neureiter, director of our documentary in progress, Disaster Capitalism.
– Guardian event in London talking about the future of the UN at 70 and my book Disaster Capitalism.
– London event for Disaster Capitalism at The Centre for Investigative Journalism.
– Article in the UK Independent about European corporations making money from the refugee crisis.
– RT TV interview about Disaster Capitalism, causes of global terrorism and the arms trade.
– RT TV interview about companies making money from the refugee crisis and Disaster Capitalism.

– Interview on London’s Novara FM about disaster capitalism and the state of the media + interview on Novara Media TV about my book.
– Guardian column about boycotting companies that make money from misery in immigration detention.
– Ireland’s News Talk radio interview on Disaster Capitalism.
– Website for my documentary Disaster Capitalism, with film-maker Thor Neureiter, has launched. We’re in fund-raising mode, with some recent success, and planning to start work on a rough cut edit soon.
– Review in Electronic Intifada about a new book on the one-state solution in Palestine.
– Ongoing relevance of the one-state solution in Palestine/Israel.
– Q&A with one of Britain’s best independent bookstores, Foyles, about disaster capitalism and fighting back.
– US website Mondoweiss and a conversation about journalism, media and why they’re both often broken.
– UK podcast Little Atoms interview about Disaster Capitalism.
– Explaining the reality of disaster capitalism globally.
– Letter in South Sudan’s newest newspaper about the country’s ongoing violence.
My publisher Verso is selling all its books (and e-books) for 50% off with free shipping globally until the end of the year so a perfect opportunity to buy Disaster Capitalism in bulk, for Christmas and all your personal and gift needs.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
