"Like most social progressives, she has a bone to pick...but it's an extremely valid one. Skip right to part 3 after the intro for the meaty discussion on ending Dommination Economics, and creating a Partnering Economics."
"This book covered a lot of issues I've thought about before, but put it in a framework I had never really considered - economics. Overall, I thought the main idea was interesting, but felt I got the main message just from the first chapter and much of the rest was longer than it needed to be. I read this book because I heard her speak a few months ago and I'm glad I was introduced to her thinking even if I didn't love the book. I have The Chalice and the Blade on my short list of things to read next."
"I couldn't finish this book. It is good material, and I'm sympathetic to the overall message, but I found this dull. Perhaps that is more about me and the kind of writing style I like than anything. I enjoyed Marilyn Waring's "Counting for nothing" much more."
