Reviews
Today McDonald’s, tomorrow the world.
Naomi Klein’s No Logo, Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation, The Silent Takeover by Noreena Hertz and now Bove’s book are the bibles of the anti-capitalist movement.
Critics frequently accuse the opponents of economic globalization of not presenting any alternative ... The World is Not for Sale couldn’t prove them more wrong.
