This is a searing exposé of the global sex trade.

The impoverishment of entire regions of the world has created ideal conditions for all kinds of trafficking, including the trading and prostitution of millions of human beings. The profits are colossal and are, as the author shockingly reveals here , taken into account in the strategic development of many countries.

Based on twenty years of investigation, this alarming study reveals the hidden and scandalous face of globalization: prostitution, pornography, sexual tourism, and the commerce of women and children. The figures are overwhelming, and the author’s meticulous and complete analysis illustrates the spread of a phenomenon caused by deregulation policies and the excesses of neo-liberalism.
