<b><b><b>NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 5 BOOKS OF 2024 ON CBS <i>SUNDAY MORNING</i><br><br>ONE OF <i>THE WASHINGTON POST'</i>S TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2024<br><br>A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> NOTABLE BOOK <br><br>“Vivid, revelatory, and politically unpredictable…What bothers Abrahamian, in the end, isn’t the anarchic but the unfair; if capital is free, people deserve the same respect.” </b></b><i><b>—</b></i><b>Gideon Lewis-Kraus,</b><i><b> The New Yorker</b></i><br><br>"<b>A season of unrest looms ahead, and <i>The Hidden Globe</i> lays out the unvarnished truth in a luminous feat of reportage.”—Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis <i>Star Tribune</i></b><br><br>Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist’s riveting account exposes a parallel universe that has become a haven for the rich and powerful.</b><br><br>A globe shows the world we think we know: neatly delineated sovereign nations that grant or restrict their citizens’ rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside their borders, however, another universe has been engineered into existence. It consists of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, and increasingly for the benefit of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.<br><br>Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of this hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed their only commodity: bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Over time, economists, theorists, statesmen, and consultants evolved ever more sophisticated ways of exporting and exploiting statelessness, in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centers, charter cities controlled by foreign corporations, and even into outer space. By mapping this countergeography, which decides who wins and who loses in the new global order—and helping us to see how it might be otherwise—<i>The Hidden Globe</i> fascinates, enrages, and inspires.
