Rogue Economics

Reading a brilliant book at the moment by Loretta Napoleon called 'Rogue Economics'. She draws upon how rogue economics is booming across the world-America's subprime mortgage lending scandal, China's fake goods industry, pornography, fish-farming, prostitution industry and c3elebrity philanthropy in Africa!

This sort of things is right up my street-I really want to understand how the world works, because I feel that in a world dominated by big corporations who basically control politicians, and the consumer always comes off very second best! Another similar book I read was that of 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' and these sort of books have really motivated me to explore the world of economics outside that of text books.

I have applied to a few consulting firms, but don't think that I will get anything. Hence, am starting to plan some travels for next year. Then possiblyh a global politics course at LSE.
