REVIEW OF BOOKS
'The most astute young political and ecological cartographer of his
time shows that the riptide of privatization is now a broad flood of
hypercaptialism reaching every nook of our daily lives' - OBSERVER
'A well-written, well-researched and potent critique . . few get to the heart
of the matter like Monbiot and very few write a compelling enough script
to make you want to shout angry slogans about the injustices of corporate
greed' - MANAGEMENT TODAY
'Monbiot gives the Green movement a glamour if has never previously
enjoyed the originality of his thought makes him uniquely influential
- Michael Gove, THE TIMES Vissza
