"A fearless and compelling work. You need to know what's in this book."
Monica Ali, author Brick Lane

The world of the early 21st century is one of shocking inequality and absurd
contradictions. Unbelievable wealth and abject poverty exist simultaneously,
side-by-side and across continents. Western military budgets dwarf the
entire GDPs of developing nations. Technology, mass consumerism and cheap air travel have given Westerners freedoms that even our grandparents could hardly dream of. And yet slavery, torture, persecution, famine, disease,
racism and war blight millions of lives every day.

50 Facts that Should Change the World has a simple aim: to make people think twice about the world in which they live. Jessica Williams provides an
unashamedly popular but serious, original and angry survey of life on planet
Earth - and a powerful tonic to the idea that individuals can do nothing to
change it.
