Customer Review: While there is some interesting information here, I found the book sketchy and ominous in more ways than one. It offers an "objective view from all sides," which in the U.S. today means from far right to right to center right. Who is to blame for our debts? Oh, politicians, of course.

Customer Review: THE PREDATOR STATE
Understanding the financial happenings is so important. We certainly didn't learn any of this in school; highschool anyway. I heard Kenneth Galbraith interviewed on KCET and placed my order, getting 2 gifts and reading one myself.
Customer Review: Just finished the book and have to say the author's stories seemed very contrived.
