Provocative, Funny and Cruel.......2004-01-08

The argument hit me in stages. As I zipped through the stories, I found myself smiling, but then I started thinking more seriously about what this book was saying, and now I think it's cruel and triumphalist. This book may become a tool in the hands of people who want to neglect the poor and feel good about it.

A brilliant OVERSIGHT - This book paints an incorrect image.......2003-11-25

The conclusions drawn by the author are very logical and thorougly researched.
**HOWEVER**
The author's entire line of argument is faulted!
He does not fully take into account the limited resources that the global economic system operates with.
Prosperity, defined as ability to consume desired goods, can NOT be reached at the same level as that in Western countries- because there aren't enough goods to meet the consumption demands of the world's population at that level.
It is very simple.

Provides solid understanding the Global Finance system.......2003-09-23

This book outlines the working of the global financial system in a clear and concise manner. It helped me understand the global financial interconnections and provided a solid understanding of how First World nations view the rest of the world. However, I disagree with the basic principles laid out in this book. Until the wealthy first world stops sucking off the resources of the poorest nations, there will always be strife and war.

those Washington bullets again..........2003-09-23

The U.S. has turned into a financial predator nation - borrowing billions every week from abroad and pissing the money away on imported luxuries, and borrowing more to pay for wars. Foreigners keep shoveling money into the U.S. and anyone who thinks they'll stop or thinks that the whole game will come to a sudden end should read this book. There's more going on than comes out in the newspapers. The really surprising message of this book is that everything could come out well - not only for the 300 million people that own financial assets, but also for the six billion that don't. I slammed this book down on the table a few times but after a few minutes I picked it up again.

Edmunds hits right on the money!.......2003-09-22

People who want to make high returns on their investments and retire rich will find a lot to like here. The poor countries aren't only going to do all the dirty work for the rich countries and make all the cheap manufactured stuff we buy in Wal-Mart. The poor countries are also going to solve our retirement crisis by giving us high rates of return on our savings. This book will make people mad who want the rich countries to quit dictating to the poor countries. People who think free trade does a lot of harm don't know the really ugly side of the story, but they'll get a good look at it if they read this book.

Customer Reviews:

Fluff.......2006-09-08

This book is complete fluff pretending to be substance. The cute little cartoons and boxes make this book impossible to focus on. How is anyone supposed to take meaning from it if he or she can't finish a sentence without some graphic causing a distraction? I've been reading paragraphs to my friends, and they can't stop laughing at how people may think of this as "advice"!

An invaluable source of information on the "organizational assessment" process........2007-03-09

Particularly for those who are considering consulting work, or who are just getting started in the consulting field, this is a most
well-written,invaluable source of information on the "organizational assessment" process.

written for who?.......2006-07-27

This is something i hate to say, but i really didn't know for who this book is written. I didn't mean it did not say who are the readers it intended for, but at least to me the book was written for the authour himself with a language he understand better than others. This book disappointed me at least in following three aspects: fristly, poor organization both chapters and sentences. Just like the authour said "The division into chapters is arbitrary and to ease the reading". (see pp191 of the book). Seondly , ambiguity of the meanings of cases taken in the book. some of examples and cases appear abruptly and almost without any interpretion or conclusions. Thirdly, the writting style of this book is not suit for students, or it's not student-friendly.

A gem of a book for understanding organization IN DEPTH!.......2002-07-03

As consultants in the field of organization design and change, we have long valued this author's "Organizational Diagnosis," a classic work now out-of-print. The current volume brings this original volume back, but fully updated and highly streamlined. The book takes a diagnostic approach influenced by a psychoanalytical background and psychosocial framework. It is a robust manual for assessing an organization in depth, and outlines a mode for gathering information. Rather than plunge into some recipe for organizational change, this book shows how to understand an organization from many perspectives. Based on this knowledge, a strategy for change can be developed. In addition to examples of proposals, letters to employees, interview questions, and feedback reports, the book presents an excellent assessment outline for use on-site. The work is built on extensive research and is ideal for external and internal consultants and graduate-level students. This book is a gem!-a one-of-kind work that is extraordinary in its comprehensiveness and depth.

Book Description

Movie Money is often one of the key factors in cinema plots. Characters on screen fight for it, lie for it, marry for it, steal it, counterfeit it, bet with it, burn it—just as many of us do in real life. But movie money, like its counterpart in the real world, is more than dollar signs and electronic blips on bank accounts. The "green stuff"' must be seen, smelled, fondled and caressed. To fill that important role film after film, Hollywood's storytellers have produced a wealth of imitation greenbacks, which has become a diverse, colorful and eminently collectible series.

Book Description
