Ethical Matters:
A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire

Investigative journalist Matt Kennard had unbridled access to the crème de la crème of the global elite. From slanging matches with Henry Kissinger to afternoon coffees with the man who captured Che Guevara, Kennard spent four years gathering extraordinarily honest testimony from the horse’s mouth on how the global economic system works away from the convenient myths. It left him with only one conclusion: the world as we know it is run by an exclusive class of American racketeers who operate with virtually unlimited weapons and money, and a reach much too close to home.

In this Ethical Matters talk, Kennard provides evidence of unchecked, high-level, interrelated systems of exploitation all over the world. At the same time, through encounters with high-profile opponents of the racket such as Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, and Gael García Bernal, he offers a glimpse of a developing resistance, which needs to win.

Matt’s book, The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs. The American Empire, will be available to buy in person from Newham Bookshop on the day.
