## Description

This is a short, sharp and stimulating book that responds to the global economic crisis by assessing the issue of value, which underlies every commercial transaction we make, in boom and in bust.

Review: READ THIS BOOK - VERY important book that everyone should read. I was aware of a lot of what that was going wrong in the world, but Patel presents it in terms that easy to grasp.
Review: Stimulates thinking and evaluating - Some good points in the book but I do not agree with everything he writes. Oh yes I would give the book to my Grandchild and then start to discuss about it. I find the book has too many examples,"verzettelt" therefore a bit confusing, and too one-sided to prove his point. Overall: Too much to the left, yet a good and valuable book to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ READ THIS BOOK
*by E***N on November 10, 2014*

VERY important book that everyone should read. I was aware of a lot of what that was going wrong in the world, but Patel presents it in terms that easy to grasp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stimulates thinking and evaluating
*by D***A on February 11, 2011*

Some good points in the book but I do not agree with everything he writes. Oh yes I would give the book to my Grandchild and then start to discuss about it. I find the book has too many examples,"verzettelt" therefore a bit confusing, and too one-sided to prove his point. Overall: Too much to the left, yet a good and valuable book to read.

### ⭐⭐ Disappointing Read
*by G***E on April 2, 2010*

I watched the author speak about this book on a morning Canadian TV show and it sounded interesting, so I bought it. In the interview he mentioned how a Big Mac, after adding in all the hidden costs relating to the energy and pollution costs from cow to table, is actually around $200. This part is covered in a few short pages in the book. He mentions that "Pesticide contamination, nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions are compounding the environmental debt of industrialised agriculture" and I agree. This argument is expanded on somewhat. He tells the interesting story of the Volkswagen share price defying gravity during the recent economic meltdown, causing short sellers to panic and endure great losses. However,in its entirity the book is far too academic and philosophical for the average reader, in my opinion. It does make some interesting points but takes too long to make many of them.
