compton: Everyone on Planet Earth needs to read this book!!! We’ll done Vandana for standing your ground and exposing the evil that is being forced on everyone. The world needs more of your thinking and compassion for not only the Earth, of which we are all dependent and connected, but of all life that inhabits her. You are a guiding light. Thank you.

Matloub Husayn-Ali-Khan: Came across this book by Vandana and Kartikey Shiva: Oneness vs The 1% almost a year ago, following my Facebook post on 29th January 2021 discussing philanthropy book by author Paul Vallely the author “Philanthropy: From Aristotle to Zuckerberg” including the so-called global elite philanthropists like Bill Gates’s approach to philanthropy as being akin to a form of “philanthro-imperialism". In essence, the actions of ‘New Columbus who began 5 centuries ago with the age of Columbus who set out for India; but reached the Americas. His journey to plunder became the ‘Discovery of America’. With the creation of the East India Company in 1600, specifically created to plunder India, the foundation of contemporary corporate rule and corporate globalisation was laid’.

The book clearly explains that the "Industrial agriculture is inefficient, unproductive, creates dependency on corporations for eternal inputs, and dependency on global supply chains which impose uniformity on farms." The authors focus on Bill Gates and how he is using his money to bypass democratic structures of society. His (Gates) foundation is involved in ignoring or derailing alternatives to his...

Miki: This book will open your eyes to how the food we're eating is being hacked (not for good) by pharmaceuticals & tech moguls like Bill Gates(you'll get sick of this douchebag once you finish reading the book). I recommend buying the Audiobook version if you're a commuter like me. Finally, I would like to thank Vandana Shiva & Kartikey Shiva for fighting alongside the farmers' to store & reproduce God-given seeds.

Claudio Randazzo: Once again Vandana Shiva tells about important facts and problems which affect everyone. Moreover the book and its bibliography and citations give you the possibility of building your own opinion and free your mind from the dominant way of thinking about: wellness, freedom, inequality, progress, economic and social growth, justice, distribution of opportunity, the staying together with compassion and care for each other as a the third way from mankind extintion or escaping to another planet

Rachel: The back drop of corporate history given by Dr Shiva tells us where all of this is going. The powerful under told story of India’s farmers and citizens as a microcosm of what the rest of us can expect from megalithic corporation systematically destroying financial sovereignty and the environment for short term, poorly advised gain. Her vision of true independence sounds like heaven on earth.
Well written and researched with an alarming forecast for those sharp enough to see this playing out.
I highly recommend this read for anyone wanting to understand the world, what’s at stake and how the big games are played.

Kindle Customer: This is a hard read by a wise scientist who points out how humanity has allowed our land and our food production to be run by greed and profit. We all are in danger of extinction by human hand, not by Nature. Shiva gives facts and names names, and continues her lifelong commitment to those who care and fight for sustainable life on earth. Everyone must read this book and fight for our lives. Shiva's goal is Life on earth; the abusers' goal is life on Mars for their clan. This is not science fiction. History will tell how we survived, or Earth will be another Atlantis Tale.
