Media Reviews
Today McDonald's, tomorrow the world. * Times *
Naomi Klein's No Logo, Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, The Silent Takeover by Noreena Hertz and now Bove's book are the bibles of the anti-capitalist movement. * Guardian *
Critics frequently accuse the opponents of economic globalization of not presenting any alternative ... The World is Not for Sale couldn't prove them more wrong. * Red Pepper *
In tune with the movement for which it will become a core text. * Independent *
The peasant leader regarded as a hero in the battle to save France from fast food and free trade is bringing his revolt across the channel to protest against the 'perversion' of British agricultural policy. * Sunday Times *
... a call to action, and a timely reminder of the principle: 'Think globally, act locally.' * Food Magazine *
A vivid testament to the extraordinary potential when local communities, heroic direct actionists and employees come together in creative alliances against corporate power. * New Statesman *
... an engaging account of two twentieth-century heroes who, in their fight for sustainable agriculture, have embraced the larger vision for a more just, healthy, and harmonic global community. * clamor magazine *
It is refreshing to read informed argument by people who are both left wing and who, as working farmers, know what they are talking about. * Socialist Review *
