'Vijay Prashad reveals that Enron capitalism is not about the scandal of the moment, but the present form of predatory imperialism and its logical transition to a permanent war state. His gift for popular argument and caustic wit greatly enhance what is a serious read at a deadly serious time in history. Prashad is building an analytical foundation for a revitalized international, anti-imperialist resistance.' - Eric Mann, author, Dispatches from Durban: The World Conference Against Racism and Post September 11 Movement Strategies 'A brilliant analysis of the American and world economy, Prashad throws a sharp light on capitalism as a system, and its alliance with government. The research is impressive, the style lively, and the subject profoundly important to all who want a more equitable world.' - Howard Zinn 'A must read for all who want to understand the contemporary corporate controlled economy and create justice.' - Vandana Shiva 'A harrowing portrait of corporate villainy and political connivance on a global scale... Prashad shows how Enron was not some kind of freaky aberration, but a high-flying symbol for an entire industry that has gone mad through the black magic of deregulation.' - Jeffrey St. Clair, Editor CounterPunch, and author, Whiteout: the CIA, Drugs and the Press 'Superb. To read this book is to gnash and to weep. But as Joe Hill once advised us as he faced death by a firing squad, "Don't mourn, organize!" ' - Doug Dowd, author, Capitalism and Its Economics
