Ching Kwan Lee

Alexander Kaufman

The findings here dovetail with Ching Kwan Lee’s very good 2017 book “The Specter of Global China,” which is based on a full six years of fieldwork observing how Chinese capital worked in Zambia’s copper industry. https://t.co/VyPqwIFnUW

Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire

Jonathan M. Katz

Alexander Kaufman

Finally finished @KatzOnEarth’s “Gangsters of Capitalism” this evening and man, what a masterpiece of journalism and writing. Reporting in Puerto Rico post-María changed my life and made me see how shallowly I knew my own country. This book is a captivating and useful corrective.
