Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Luttwak's work is a rigorous critique of a system that he believes will either evolve or collapse from its excesses.... The best thing about his books, whether you agree with them or not, is the agile, independent intellect at work in them. It makes him, among other things, a superb social critic."-- "Business Week""Luttwak's strong suit is that he writes forcefully and idiosyncratically.He is cosmopolitan and easy to read.... At his best, Luttwak blends economic and social criticism almost in the style of John Kenneth Galbraith."-- "Robert Kuttner, New York Times Book Review""We've read before about the winner-take-all society, an alienated 'flexible' work force and manic debt-fueled consumerism. But Mr. Luttwak ... Has written an original, provocative book that takes up all these questions at once, and more."-- "New York Times""On occasion Luttwak musters a delicious Galbraithian barb. On the whole, he writes with a measured fair-mindedness. He is fully aware of the appeals of market fundamentalism--the innovation, the excitement, the constant change. But he asks, over and over, whether the fruits, such as they are, are always worth the social price."-- "Washington Monthly"
