What We Are Reading Today: Neoliberal Transformation of Electricity

Author: Serhan Unal

This Kindle-format book makes a structural analysis of the neoliberal restructuring in the global electricity industry.

The book shows that the electricity liberalization in different countries is just a reflection of the same structural trend in the global economy and avoids both narrow country-specific and abstract global approaches by making a structural analysis completed by a case study.

The book raises key questions including how global changes in finance structures influence domestic energy and economic policy preferences of developing countries.

Drawing on illuminating interviews with leading scientists from around the globe as well as Jaap de Roode’s own pioneering research on monarch butterflies, he demonstrates how animals of all kinds—from ants to apes, from bees to bears, and from cats to caterpillars—use various forms of medicine to treat their own ailments and those of their relatives.
