"""...Lama's book goes squarely against the mainstream tide and is a 'voice of the Rest'. ... A new balance is in the making. Lama's book sheds a piercing light on these developments."" JAN NEDERVEEN PIETERSE, New Global Studies 2024 ""An ambitious book that concisely covers a wide range of factors shaping today's geopolitical conflict. Lama traces a clear narrative from the colonial era through the Cold War and into the present day of how the Western world has striven to perpetuate a global order based on its dominance, and projects how he sees the international system evolving as this order faces growing challenges."" A. B. ABRAMS, Author, World War in Syria and Immovable Object: North Korea's 70 Years At War with American Power. ""Author Fadi Lama explains the rise of the Western Money Power in controlling governments and societies worldwide and how it secured US dollar dominance through the neocolonialist policies established at Bretton Woods in 1944. Now, the non-Western world, led by China, is using state-controlled central banking to surpass the West in industrial productivity. The author has provided a brilliantly detailed analysis of the epochal forces that are dictating today's massive shift in world geopolitical power."" RICHARD C. COOK, former Treasury analyst and Challenger whistleblower, Author, We Hold These Truths: The Hope of Monetary Reform ""A must read. One of the best primers on the economic forces shaping modern geopolitics. A no-filler, unrelenting assault of facts and figures which expose the main reasons for the West's decline and its eventual fading into economic, military and cultural mediocrity, if not irrelevance."" ANDREI MARTYANOV, Author Losing Military Supremacy and Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse ""Fadi Lama has presented an extraordinary insight into the history and present-day nature of the financial oligarchy, of what he accurately calls ""the Money Power."" ...Very unsettling and thought-provoking.""
