The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global CitizenThe buying and selling of citizenship has become a legitimate, thriving business in just a few years. Entrepreneurs are renouncing America and Europe in favor of tax havens in the Caribbean with the help of a cottage industry of lawyers, bankers, and consultants that specialize in expatriation.

The buying and selling of citizenship has become a legitimate, thriving business in just a few years. Entrepreneurs are renouncing America and Europe in favor of tax havens in the Caribbean with the help of a cottage industry of lawyers, bankers, and consultants that specialize in expatriation. But as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian discovered, the story of twenty-first century citizenship is bigger than millionaires buying their second or third passport. When she learned that mysterious middlemen had persuaded the Comoro Islands to turn to selling citizenship as a new source of revenue, she decided to follow the money trail to the Middle East. There, she found that officials in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates had bulk-ordered passports for their bidoon, or stateless population, transforming these men, women, and children without countries into Comorian citizens practically overnight. In her timely and eye-opening first book, Abrahamian travels the globe to meet these willing and unwitting "cosmopolites," or citizens of the world, who show us how transactional and unpredictable national citizenship in the twenty-first century can be.Binding Type: Paperback

Works as intended
Style: Black 6 Pack, Size: 7.25 inch
It works as it should. I does look like it bends down after screwing to the wall but the level seemed spot on. Either way it hold up my shelf great

Fantastic slimline brackets
Style: Black 12 Pack, Size: 9.25 inch
We're hanging some shelves that will hold some weight and wanted a minimal amount of shelf to show. It's about what's on the shelf, not the bracket. The black metal adds just a touch of style against the white painted wood shelves. They look great. The best part is that the screws go right into the middle of the shelf which makes it easy to hit the center of the stud. Standard box store lumber fits perfectly. A 1 x 10 fits like a glove and the small lip finishes off the classic look. Comes with all sorts of mounting hardware and the screws are decent quality and went in with no issue or stripping. I usually have to buy better screws but these were fine. At this price it really was an excellent deal and they are heavy duty. Win Win Win.
