Have you ever wondered why global promises of prosperity seem to benefit the powerful while leaving the rest of us behind? Why do nations that champion democracy often undermine it when it suits their interests? And why do trade agreements and international policies often bring more harm than good to those most vulnerable?

In The Hidden Agenda: What They Don't Want the Next Generation to Know, the veil is lifted on the global systems and policies that shape our lives but rarely serve the common good. From the devastating effects of NAFTA on small-scale farmers to the manipulation of international trade rules, this book exposes the unsettling truth about how power, profit, and politics intertwine.

Through compelling stories of resistance, smart analysis, and striking historical instances, you'll learn:

How global superpowers can behave without consequence when they selectively follow international law.

The detrimental knock-on effects and their role in escalating inequality of programs such as the Washington Consensus.

Change is possible despite institutional oppression, as demonstrated by stories of resiliency such as the Zapatista revolt.

Not only does this book highlight issues, it also gives hope.

Gaining knowledge of these covert objectives gives you the ability to challenge, question, and imagine a more equitable society.

Will you stand by as history repeats itself, or will you take the first step toward becoming part of the solution?
