A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save it [a book review]

by Jeff Vail from The Oil Drum

Because I have not read this book, I cannot comment on the book itself. But what struck me about this review is the use of euphemisms such as "our economic and finance structure", "modern industrial civilization", and "global political economy" in place of a key concept.

VIEWER OFFER: I will send a DVD of an excellent documentary by Jamie Johnson (heir of the founders of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Corp.) entitled, "The One Percent" to anyone who can supply me by 12 noon (Pacific Standard Time) tomorrow (Nov. 15) the key concept that, in my opinion, is missing from this review. 

A much better review is supplied on Amazon's website written by Norman Dyer.
