this book that is well worth reading and pertinent to us, whatever nation in which we choose to reside. It is frightening to realise that the book was written in 1994: it means that the system, which is slowly strangling the way of life in both first and third world countries, has been gathering pace for over twenty years. I very much like people such as Chomsky, who illustrate the problem simply and cogently, without the need for exaggerated language and name calling. It means that, whilst one may disagree with him, it is impossible to dismiss him as an old reactionary. Were more people to read this book, I feel sure that the TNC's would not be able to sneak through their pernicious changes to all our lives so, if you haven't read it, it may be bought incredibly cheaply (don't get me started upon how undervalued books are!) on line.
