Editorial Reviews
Synopsis
Doug Henwood scrutinizes the "news economy" of the 1990s and questions whether it lives up to the grand claims of being unimaginably productive and freed of antique logic. He takes issue with many of the celebratory declarations made about the economy since the 1990s, contending that although capitalism is a relentlessy innovating, globalizing system, the "new economy" of the 1990s was not, in fact, one of truly overturned hierarchies.
Customer Reviews
Awesome survey of modern business - TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!
This is one of those books that is destined to be the next generation's Future Shock (by Alvin Toffler) or In Pursuit of Excellence (by Tom Peters). It is a closely argued and superbly documented challenge to the 'wisdom' of contemporary business. Make no mistake - this is not a lightweight book - if you are in business it is going to make you feel VERY sick because it will challenge some of the fundamentals on which you get out of bed each day. But hopefully as a result you will be much fitter to do your job and far less inclined to simply go along with modern business' crass excesses and false assumptions.
TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!
