- Absolute Truth
I have read many books in my time and, every once in a while, a book comes along that really shines light on things. This is one of those books. The shocking evidence that comes from this book would make any stomach turn. This is a must read for anyone interested in power structures.

Rating: - Shocking
After reading this I can see why we are in such economic trouble. This will shine a light on the failure of our leaders and how the 700billion bailout will only keep everything "Business as usual" God help us all!
Rating: - This should be required reading...
But--do not read this book if your mind is not open to hearing the truth about how things really are. If you are at all curious about how the world works, then this book will certainly begin to answer the questions you have. You should read this in tandem with John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".

- paints a very sinister picture of the world
greed will consume all and money is the root of all evil. the narratives in this book further highlight this basic fact and the human fallacy of being needy to the point of destruction. proves that economics is not really a zero sum game after all.
Rating: - Good reference book for "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"
This book completely documents how large multinational corporations together with the IMF, The World Bank, and the various "free trade" organizations, as well rule the world and effectively rob from the poor and middle class and increase the wealth of the already wealthy.
It dramatically underscores the fact that if we don't act, and act now, we will be facing a world of new "serfdom", if the world isn't destroyed altogether by the greed and connivery of the world's rich.
