Review
“I can hear the corporate squeals. This flagellation makes for a good read." - Ottawa Citizen
“No current book—anywhere—is as acidly lucid about the new globalized economics that are steamrolling custom, culture and civilization in the world. Fascinating, funny and best of all profoundly useful.” - Books in Canada
“A remarkably thoroughgoing critique of folly.” - Newsday
“A big, juicy mudpie in the face of conventional wisdom... a welcome handbook to the confusions of the age. It encourages people not only to doubt, but to think for themselves. A dangerous book indeed. Perhaps the authorities should burn it now.” - Maclean's
“Very wise. And very funny.” - The Vancouver Sun
