'World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability' by Amy Chua

Drawing on examples from around the world - from Africa and Asia to Russia and Latin America - Chua examines how free markets do not spread wealth evenly throughout the whole of these societies. Instead they produce a new class of extremely wealthy plutocrats - individuals as rich as nations. Almost always members of a minority group - Chinese in the Philippines, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America, Indians in East Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia - these "market-dominant minorities" have become targets of violent hatred. Adding democracy to this volatile mix unleashes suppressed ethnic hatreds and brings to power ethnonationalist governments that pursue aggressive policies of confiscation and revenge.
