Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Winner of the Philippine National Book Award, this pioneering volume reveals how the power of the countryâs family-based oligarchy both derives from and contributes to a weak Philippine state. From provincial warlords to modern managers, prominent Filipino leaders have fused family, politics, and business to compromise public institutions and amass private wealthâa historic pattern that persists to the present day.
   Edited by Alfred W. McCoy, An Anarchy of Families explores the pervasive influence of the modern dynasties that have led the Philippines during the past century. Exemplified by the Osmeñas and Lopezes, elite Filipino families have formed a powerful oligarchyâcontrolling capital, dominating national politics, and often owning the media. Beyond Manila, strong men such as Ramon Durano, Ali Dimaporo, and Justiniano Montano have used âguns, goons, and goldâ to accumulate wealth and power in far-flung islands and provinces. In a new preface for this revised edition, the editor shows how this pattern of oligarchic control has continued into the twenty-first century, despite dramatic socio-economic change that has supplanted the classic âthree gâsâ of Philippine politics with the contemporary âfour câsââcontinuity, Chinese, criminality, and celebrity.
