Land grabbing: the african war

What is happening is the most massive operation of invasion and colonization of human history, that would dwarf the mythologies of Genghis Khan or Hitler's delusions of grandeur, but even that does not fear the competition history of colonialism of the past centuries. It is not an exaggeration, especially if we consider that while those facts and historical phenomena had the "light banners", or you know more or less exactly who attacked whom and which areas occupied today this aggression is "stateless and without flags" . The conquerors of today are big corporations and mutual funds that have shareholders, owners, transnational investors, who have little to do with reasons and geopolitical interests. Subjects where you can not request or require reparations, that have not signed the Geneva Convention or have any obligations to respect human rights or are interested in reconstructions of any kind. Respond exclusively to the logic of profit. The greater the difference between the purchase price and proceeds from the sale of goods produced, more satisfied the interest of companies. It may seem a cynical view or radical, but it is an economic concept "neutral", is the rule of "social behavior" of the multinationals, and should be understood as a key unique to really understand what is happening. Analysts have described this phenomenon as "land grabbing", more or less "land grab", or the purchase or long-term lease of tracts of land by foreign investors. The phenomenon emerges strongly in late 2006, following a sudden price shock; kicking rocketed the Food-World Index, or the stock index on food prices of primary agricultural (wheat, rice, cereals ...) . It turns out thanks to the work of some NGOs that bring together the data collected individually, which in 2006 alone were signed (those known) 416 maxi contracts "hoarding land" in 66 countries of the world (those monitored) for a total of 87 million hectares of arable land, 47% of which are in Africa! This ebook is a real journey to discover what is happening. Putti
