I'm 10 pages into it, and it is an effortless read. The worst thing about it is the number of books the he mentions as asides. They fall like feathers in molting season. haha. what year was it published? North Point Press, 2004., according to the library. North Point Press; 1st edition (January 13, 2005) according to Amazon. i'll put it on the list. Tomatoland is already on it. i think you'll enjoy _Debt_, the first 5,000 years by Graeber. 534 pages, huh? I'll get you for this, bird. Maybe I could interest you in "Animal Factory: The Looming Threat of Industrial Pig, Dairy, and Poultry Farms to Humans and the Environment by David Kirby http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Factory...vironment/dp/B 004IK9EJQ/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1368423484&sr=1-1 It practically reads itself,honest, and is only 512 pages. or The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Doctrine...lism/dp/031242 7999/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368423694&sr=1-1&keywords=Shock+Doct rine Who knew Milton Friedman sold Neo-liberal economics to Russia, China, and the Chilean dictator, Pinochet? If you liked "Omnivore", then you'll love Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization i'll add it to the list too. ... The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food by Kaayla T. Daniel http://www.amazon.com/Whole-Soy-Stor.../0967089751/re f=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368391029&sr=1-1&keywords=The+whole+soy+sto ry+%3A+the+dark+side+of+America%27s+favorite+healt h+food+%2F+Kaayla+T.+Da niel. Too early to tell. The writing seems a little pedantic to my taste, but all the elements for a good, corporate conspiracy are here. I think I'm running out of bookmarks. songbird and I still have a pound or 2 of " A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present", by Howard Zinn to read.
