The End of Power

How Smugglers, Traffickers, and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy

Illicit

Una historia casi ficticia de amor y espionaje en tiempos de Hugo Chávez. En una Venezuela convulsionada por la revolución de Hugo Chávez, Moisés Naím teje una novela de espionaje y amor que nace de dos décadas de minucioso trabajo de documentación. A través de las historias de Eva, espía de la CIA, y Mauricio, agente del servicio de inteligencia cubano, el lector se sumerge en una adictiva trama de thriller que es, al mismo tiempo, la crónica de una realidad que, a veces, supera a la ficción. La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela que muestra la cara más cruda del populismo, y que llega más allá de donde un ensayo político podría llegar.» Arturo Pérez-Reverte «Una novela que solo podía escribir alguien que sepa todo de Venezuela y de las relaciones de poder en el mundo global.» Héctor Abad Faciolince «Un relato picante y veraz en la línea de Tirano Banderas , El otoño del patriarca o Yo, el supremo. » Fernando Savater

Dos Espías en Caracas / Two Spies in Caracas

From Moses Naim, the author of The End of Power, which was Mark Zuckerberg's first ever Facebook book club selection. Any newspaper anywhere in the world, any day, carries news about illegal migrants, drug busts, smuggled weapons, laundered money, or counterfeit goods The intense media coverage devoted to the war on terrorism has helped to obscure the other new wars of globalisation.Illicit international trade pits governments against agile, well-financed networks of highly dedicated individuals. Religious zeal or political goals drive terrorists, but profit is no less a motivator for murder, mayhem, and global insecurity than religious fanaticism. Illicit is the first book to reveal the full scale of this dark underground. It uncovers the connections between illegal industries and shows how they join forces to breed new lines of business, feed off political instability, foster violence and enable terrorism. How do pirated movies or CD's find their way to illegal markets worldwide even before they are released? And how, in our free, modern world, have over 30 million women and children - in South East Asia alone - been trafficked in the past ten years?
