Reviews

When it comes to exposing, analyzing and exploding the inversions, double-speak, closed loops, half-truths and outright untruths of the mind-set which underpins today's dictatorship of global 'free' market competition, nobody does it better than McMurtry. -- John Bunzl, Founder & Director, International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO) Makes clear...the gulf that separates the values that underlie our present global capitalism and those that are truly life-affirming. -- John B. Cobb, Jr., co-author with Herman Daly of For the Common Good, and Professor, Claremont Graduate School One of the most devastating critiques of the global market paradigm that has been written to date... -- Peter McLaren, Professor, UCLA 'John McMurtry's new book is a tour de force, one of the most devastating critiques of the global market paradigm that has been written to date. McMurtry's intellect is razor sharp and his arguments are developed and exercised with a remarkable depth and precision. This book marks McMurtry as one of the most important moral philosophers of his generation.' --Peter McLaren, Professor, University of California, Los Angeles
