“interesting and very good book but a bit too frothy at the mouth at times and it would have been nice to have some or any balance objectivity. ”
“I am interested in understanding intelligent critics - not the brainwashed airheads who hate anything vaguely opposed to right wing policies - I would like to participate in the discussion. I find what she says very thought provoking and mostly accurate. I want to know why some people react so vehemently against her. (other than the obvious stupidity, of course.) ”
“this book answers so many questions, and pulls together so many threads that intuitively I had thought about before, but now it all starts to make sense. But ... what frightens me is the way so many Americans are brainwashed into the Milton Friedman style of economic theory and the ideas that "freedom" is something attainable by the rich - that self-interest is higher or better than community interest, that the poor generally deserve it, that tax is theft, and funding for community is tantamount to communism .. it is the lack of intellectual and philosphical rigour in the followers of Milton Friedman I find so scary. ”
“this is a brilliant book....i am loving it. food for thought and to give you sleepless nights. everyone should read this book!!”
“I know that Naomi Klein is the author of another popular book 'No Logo'. How do you feel about this book?”
“I've only read the excerpts from The Guardian Newspaper (online) but they really intrigued me.S”
“Still reading this. It is a marvelous blue print for understanding the forces at work today and the consequences of unbridled capitialism. I am reading it with an eye to how we can subvert, avoid and function in this society without the noose of globalism. Local living is the key. We can begin by buying local; bartering services; resurrecting our communities and voting with an eye to whose interests a politician's program serves. We must live sustainably. If we build the kind of community networks that make this kind of life possible, we will be well ahead of the neocons when disaster strikes. I have watched the CA wildfires with a totally different eye. Had I not been in the midst of reading this book, things would have passed me by. But not now. ”

“I'm reading this now and unless it falls apart..this is destined for 5 stars and a must-read for every tax paying citizen of the U.S.”
