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. There is no... more info
Customer Review: Although I admire Mr. Krugman as one of the great economic thinkers of our time, I think he misses the point, on several accounts, vis-a-vis our current economic crisis. When Krugman states that the current economic crisis is "functionally similar" to the Great Depression, nothing could be... more info
Customer Review: Timely published, excellent argument, thorough research... Jones lays out, in well organized fashion, how an aggressive commitment to transition into a green economy via green collar work (work that brings dignity to the underserved communities of the United States) can bring back the US economy,... more info

PS. You can check Prechter's video interviews on youtube for updates on the material... more info

You may wonder what it would take to help them achieve sustainable livelihoods which is the first step to ending poverty for them. You may even be wondering what role you could play in ending poverty in... more info
Customer Review: If you think that the perfect storm is total collapse of the economic system, this is your book. Probability of everything outlined in this book actually happening? Not very likely - but one should be cautious with how one structures one's affairs... So it was for me more of a checklist - not... more info
Customer Review: I read part of this book for a Globalization class I was taking, plus a few chapters from a different book "Globalization and Its Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz. I initially liked what I read from Friedman. It seemed positive and interesting in comparison to Stiglitz (which focused on IMF economic... more info
