‘Synecdoche is when a part stands in for the whole, and no part better represents the rise of a reckless, self-indulgent and damaging global plutocracy than superyachts.  Once a rarity, there are now more than 5,000 of these monstrous floating mega-mansions, busy destroying marine ecosystems, undermining local, national and international law, and massively avoiding taxes.  Grégory Salle paints a vivid picture of how these superyachts – costing hundreds of millions to build and many millions every year to operate – are a concrete expression of the grotesqueries of our current social disorder.’ Naomi Oreskes, Harvard University ‘Superyachts offers a deep dive into the world of the wealthiest. It is also a great case study for green criminology. In this breathtaking – and often humorous – book, Grégory Salle shows how capitalism is definitely destroying the planet.’ Gwenola Ricordeau, California State University
