Synopsis

This book contains these two titles:
Exploitation - Economic inequality has become one of the defining challenges of our era, shaping the trajectory of societies across the globe. The income gap between the wealthiest and the poorest continues to widen, creating a stark divide that influences not only financial security but also access to education, healthcare, and opportunities. This growing disparity raises questions about the fairness of our systems and the sustainability of our futures. The roots of inequality are complex, intertwining historical legacies with contemporary policies and practices. In many nations, the transition from agrarian economies to industrialized and globalized markets created unprecedented wealth. However, this wealth was not evenly distributed. The rise of capitalism, technological advancements, and shifts in labor dynamics often concentrated power and resources in the hands of a few, leaving vast populations struggling to make ends meet. 
War Crimes - The need for accountability in the face of war crimes is critical. It is not only about bringing perpetrators to justice but also about establishing a global standard that deters such crimes in the future. The introduction of international laws and institutions aimed at prosecuting war crimes marks a pivotal shift in the international community's approach to warfare. The atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, were a wake-up call for the global community. This led to the creation of the Nuremberg Trials, the first real attempt to hold individuals accountable for war crimes, and set the foundation for modern international law.

The basic ideas, concepts, and terminology, is very well explained, but not elaborately enough. The explanation is simple, but a little overgeneralized. As the title says, this book is just an introduction. It's a good start for beginners.......more

Goodreads review by Angie on October 22, 2020

I had to get a copy for the school. The narratives and perspectives are too US-centric and neoliberal oriented. Many claims go unexamined as if the author is incapable of identifying his own bias. The examples given are just laughable; for example, he called Marx’s prediction that capitalism will ev......more

It was the September of 2012, a season wrapped in lazy monsoon clouds and a soft, anticipatory chill that always hovered around my birthday. I remember the doorbell that morning—nothing dramatic, just the calm ding-dong of another delivery. But what lay inside was far from ordinary: a gift-wrapped c......more
