Jungle Capitalists - United Fruit and the Invention of Twentieth-Century Greed

From its 19th century beginnings, via the mass-marketing of the banana as the original fast food, to its links to the US government, United Fruit blazed the trail of global capitalism through the 20th century. This book shows how one company pioneered the growth of globalization and, in doing so, helped farm the banana to the point of extinction.
