Everyone who donates $25 or more will receive a copy of the 200 page book: Sanctions – A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy. The impact of sanctions on more than 40 developing and formerly colonized countries, one third of the world’s population, was barely discussed in mainstream media for decades. The vibrations of hyperinflation, chronic shortages, and economic dislocation in surrounding countries were ignored. U.S. sanctions from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe have devastated entire nations. The impact of sanctions on Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela creates enormous hardships. But now the sanctions on Russia and China have boomeranged. Supply chain chaos, shortages possibly leading to famines, inflation, energy instability, have shaken the global economy. Most countries of the Global South have refused to respect U.S. and EU legislation that damage their access to essential grains and energy. The U.S dollar is now challenged as the currency of global trade. New forms of currency exchange using ruble, yuan, rupee are a growing option. New forms of trade and exchange are threatening U.S. global hegemony and a unipolar world. Despite the intense pressure of economic shortages, countries have survived. What measure have they used? These are the themes we raise in this unique book. The book: Sanctions – A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy is a project of the SanctionsKill Campaign. The International Action Center is a proud part of this Campaign for the past 3 years of intense activity. The SanctionsKill Campaign is an activist project. Using petitions, actions, webinars, fact sheets and reports, the Campaign seeks to expose the human cost of sanctions. The campaign has developed multimedia teaching tools that are included in this book. Gathering the chapters, editing, proofreading and correcting, choosing fonts, is all done by skilled volunteers. After a year of work this unique book is ready to send to the printer! But our final step involves you! We hope to raise $3,000 to cover the printing costs for the first print run so that student groups, solidarity organizations, classes can order this popularly written book in bulk, at a big discount, and use it as a resource in campaigns. Everyone who donates $25 or more will receive a copy of the book. Maybe you can donate more? Maybe you would like to pre-order several books to use as gifts?
