Noah MacKinnon’s Reviews > Bananas!: How The United Fruit Company Shaped the World > Status Update

Really insightful book on United Fruit and the methodology of a banana republic. Look at some of the most crucial events of American imperialism and global mechanization, (from the Panama Canal, to Bay of Pigs, to 70s Oil Crises) and United Fruit bears its ugly head. This book what capitalism aspires to be, how it exists already, and how it adapts to fit the times- lately in the form of multi-national companies.
