Excellent,well documented comment of 'econmic reality'
By A Customer
McQuaig has created an mercantile book for all a people who don't make $500,000 and a year. This is a book that has giveaway enterprisers in shock! There is a swindling and it involves a large send of typical peoples' resources to a companies that would not final a year though it. McQuaig, in a good documented entertaining argument, assails a misconceptions of general business and exposes a finish dignified and financial (!) bankruptcy. From a restraint of a bullion standard, used to incarcerate a grandfathers and grandmothers, to a stream parable of a variable general financier that is being used to destroy dual generations of amicable swell McQuaig describes a universe that is not kinder, or gentler to anyone not innate into money.
If we wish to know because wild antigovernment sidestep account investors accept billion dollar supervision (!) bail-outs while millions of people in whirly scorched Central America are offering reduction than a dollar any in assist to reconstruct there lives this is a book for you.

Cutting by a narrative
By Vincent Keating
Decidedly left wing, Linda McQuaig's biggest strength is to spoil a narratives of a right in Canada. The strength of this book isn't that it presents a confidant alternative, though it lets one know how a right managed to erect a 'crisis' around Canada's sovereign necessity where a tangible conditions wasn't as bad as they claimed. An engaging read, even if a small antiquated now.
