The Last Drop

'Seminal' -- LSE Review of Books
'Water is a resource that belongs to all of us, and this perceptive book takes issue with the way global capitalism has redefined water as a commodity, and depicts the bitter harvest that has resulted from water privatisation.' -- Richard Boyd Barrett T.D. (Member of Irish Parliament)
'A definitive analysis of the current world water challenge. To understand the "crisis of governance" that has changed water as a human right to a profitable commodity for financial interests, you must read The Last Drop.' -- Marcela Olivera is the coordinator of the Red VIDA, an Inter-American water justice network.
'In this sobering account of hydro-politics, Gonzalez and Yanes remind us that human greed - not environmental inadequacy - lies at the heart of the global water 'crisis'.' -- Dr Marcelle Dawson, Senior Lecturer in Sociology (University of Otago, New Zealand) and Vice-President, Research Committee 47 (Social Classes and Social Movements), International Sociological Association.
'Books like this are rare. Eloquent, poetic, enraged, committed, Marxist, environmentalist, written from the Global South, a book full of fire.' -- Jonathan Neale, author of Stop Global Warming, Change the World
'A grim reminder and a wake-up call to liberate water from the predominant notion that 'whoever controls water controls society'' -- Current Science
'A positive, necessary, and timely introduction to the mammoth global problems we will face for some time to come' -- Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
