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 *
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 *
Today MacDonald's, tomorrow the world. * Times *
