"I think the first half of this books was way better than the second half. The author trys to tackle quite a bit of material in this 400 page book, and some parts were definitely better written and thought out than others. AMong its strengths were the chapters on the history of corporation and the development of modern day capitialism, the discussion of perceived obsolence and the history of advertising, and the integration of the culture of capitialism and issues with health and disease, labor, and environmental degradation. The chapters that need further connections were those about rebillion, global antisystemic revolt, and tieing togther religious fundamentalism. I think the author makes some connections that were not clear, and needed a little bit more research, and from my own studies of 1968, some of the connections were just off. Besides this does an excellent job in the conclusion breaking down the use of GDP and the different forms of capital, and how they are all integrated and can postively and negatively integrated- the author's final message- a call for systems thinking to work through the problems of the culture of capitialism and global problems, was definitely the best and most hopeflu message. So overall, a good read, just maybe the author tried to take on too much...
On a side note..for some reason I was convinced the author was a woman the entire time I read it..I had to keep reminding myself it was a man..I don't know where this unnatural bias came from."
