Soaring poverty levels and 24-hour media coverage of global disasters have caused a surge in the number of international non-governmental organizations that address suffering on a massive scale.

Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of agreements ΓÇöboth formal and informalΓÇöthat are made between businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.
