Sinossi
Celebrity philanthropy comes in many guises, but no single figure better encapsulates itsdelusions, pretensions and wrongheadedness than U2’s iconic frontman, Bono—afact neither sunglasses nor leather pants can hide. More than a merephilanthropist—indeed, he is said to lag behind some peers when it comes toparting with his own money—Bono is better described as an advocate, one who hasbecome an unwitting symbol of a complacent wealthy Western elite.
The Frontman shows how Bono defended U2's partial move to Amsterdam, avoiding Irish taxes;his paternalistic advocacy of neoliberal solutions in Africa; his multinationalbusiness interests; and his hobnobbing with Paul Wolfowitz and shock-doctrineeconomist Jeffrey Sachs. Carefully dissecting the rhetoric and actions of Bonothe political operator, The Frontman argues that he is an ambassador forimperial exploitation, a man who has turned his attention to a world of savageinjustice, inequality and exploitation—and helped make it worse.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Celebrity philanthropy comes in many guises, but no single figure better encapsulates its delusions, pretensions and wrongheadedness than U2's iconic frontman, Bono - a fact neither sunglasses nor leather pants can hide. More than a mere philanthropist - indeed, he lags behind many of his peers when it comes to parting with his own money - Bono is better described as an advocate, one who has become an unwitting symbol of a complacent wealthy Western elite. The Frontman reveals how Bono moved his investments to Amsterdam to avoid Irish taxes; his paternalistic and often bullying advocacy of neoliberal solutions in Africa; his multinational business interests; and his hobnobbing with Paul Wolfowitz and shock-doctrine economist Jeffrey Sachs. Carefully dissecting the rhetoric and actions of Bono the political operator, The Frontman shows him to be an ambassador for imperial exploitation, a man who has turned his attention to a world of savage injustice, inequality and exploitation - and helped make it worse.
