Gonzalez, Mike, 1943- author. The last drop : the politics of water / Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes. Politics of water London : Pluto Press, 2015. 1 online resource (xi, 202 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. A floating planet -- How water was privatised -- Disasters, natural and otherwise -- A short trip through Amazonia -- Bitter harvests -- Virtual water -- Water and global warming -- Ya basta! Enough is enough! -- What is to be done? -- A new world water order. The one indispensable resource, water is increasingly controlled and even owned by private capital. By 2012, water was a trillion-dollar industry--and as population growth, industrial production, and ecological change make scarcity ever-more common, water may well become the source of military and political conflict in the years to come. This book looks at how we got here and what we can and should do next. Laying out the complex arguments surrounding water, its ownership and access to it, Mike Gonzalez and Marianella Yanes make the technical and scientific aspects of the discussion clear and accessible--and thereby enable themselves to make the political questions more urgent. Pushing back against the market fundamentalists, the authors argue that it is both possible and necessary that considerations of equity and social justice prevail in the debates about water.
