This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Mr. Wasik’s newspaper background enabled him to put together this book of very well researched and documented explanation of why we find ourselves in the current economic and social predicament. He falls short when he makes the assumption that urban life, well designed, is the cure-all He criticizes or ignores the notions of a rural ideal that embraced the very goals he proposes of self-sufficiency and economy.
