'Puig makes an enthralling and compelling case for why the interest of indigenous peoples and their perspectives ought to be integrated as an integral part of any debate concerning the future of international economic law in particular, and the socioeconomic well-being of our global community in general … [The book is] a compelling blend of the author's diverse experiences working with many indigenous communities and foremost international financial institutions including the World Bank Group and its affiliate institution, the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes.'
