520 1 $a"Modern pirates sail huge cruise ships from one port to another, offloading thousands of visitors a day. While the cruise industry rakes in billions of dollars a year, paying almost no income tax, the ports that ships visit are left with crumbs. It exploits workers onboard ships, uses graft from its deep war chests to shape political decisions and influence the media, and bullies administrations into accepting anti-competitive business practices and abysmal environmental and health records. It represents capitalism at its worst."
520 8 $a"An alarming expose of the injustices of cruise tourism, Cruise Ship Squeeze draws on confidential documents and meetings with port officials, corporate executives, politicians, and industry insiders to focus on the sordid politics and economics of the industry. Detailing campaign contributions, health outbreaks, money spent on lobbyists, donations from industry-sponsored and -funded foundations and much more, the book calls on readers to help contain the industry in the hope of making it environmentally, socially, economically, and politically viable."--Jacket.
