Increasingly publishers control both cover design and titles, often not even asking for author input. That is the trend of the mostly sad times we live in. Unfortunately authors' only revenge against an industry that increasi...

I just wanted to say this was the best article I've ever read on these issues.  I hope the author is writing a book or something to get more exposure for his work.  This is powerful stuff and a lot of people would benefit greatly fro...

Dear Naomi, Thank you for you article, I have been an avid reader of your work since No Logo and thought The Shock Doctrine was a defining moment in political literature. I watched your talk to Transition Town Totnes in the U.K. and posted a comme...

I recently asked for -- and received -- Green Economics as a birthday present. Currently working through it. I actually read "ABCs of Political Economy" beforhand to get some more general background; that was really very useful and inter...

Good points. The wastefulness of cars is a good example of when market externalities -- effects on third parties from market transactions -- are clearly absolutely huge, not a small correction to an efficient system. A truly efficient system wou...

Amen and amen.  I have lived in Latin America for many years and now am back in the States.  Corporate America is essentially heartless and inhuman.  This in spite of many decent people who  serve as the human interface at McDo...

Thanks Yves for this piece. For folks considering giving up these wasteful consumables - that is automobiles - adapting to a carless lifestyle takes a little time but is absolutely doable. I haven't owned a vehicle since June 1999 and I have m...

Yves - To comment as an employee of General Motors of Canada puts me in somewhat of a awkward position. Why? There is a belief system out there found in  the Corporate owned media that if Corporations make it - then it must be good for t...

For me highways and cars are American totems for progress. The internet is very much the same. It was intended for war intelligence and launch codes much like highways for use with gas burners and missiles  ~~~~~~ right, dude only fo...

There is too much here that's influenced by corporate mainstream media, or by the progressive or conservative media, or by the mainstream agricultural press, who all tend to make the same mistakes.  Related to this, there's too little...

A lot more, decentralized energy production avoids all the loss over power lines too. Long transmission lines are extremely expensive.. It would be nice to see power production opened up for everybody, set up for lots of small scale innovation.. I...

I thought David Suzuki's _Good News_ was a useful gook. He was good about pulling together oil and nuke issues. There's a problem with dragging all this stuff up out from under the earth, all this stuff that we, and our civilization, didn&...

There's a lot of strong criticism of Nuke Power on Znet also. Why assume that Michael Albert, or anybody else, agrees with everything a writer says just because some of their material is on the site? If Monbiot is good on some issues why not m...

George Monbiot is so two faced and I am sick of it. Firstly on the nuclear issue let us put that to one side as time will prove that he is like Christopher Hitchens on the Iraq War when it comes to nukes. If Mr Monbiot loves his nukes so much he c...

Hi Eugene, You say "Participatory Thought" but do not present an argument against Monbiot's position. I say this because I am sure you have something to add beyond "rubbish."

As usual the jounalist Monbiot presents a split analysis of "clean energy" , which impresses Michael Albert. If nuclear reactors are so clean why doesn´t he set up a community in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor such as one of tho...

 I can't believe people gave 76,000 dollars just to sing a song at an Obama fundraiser. It seems like that money would get more bang for the buck somewhere else but maybe there's something in the details where it makes sense, the mone...
