Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You won't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this. I agree people get shafted and displaced because of progress and natural reasources but I thought this read more like a gullible conspiracy through the eyes of a arrogant elitist with a socialist agenda than a history of American economic policy. I believe in the system and the goodness of American values that aids poor nations. How can nations rise out of poverty without help? I myself enjoy hot and clean water, and electricity. I would not feel hopeful if I had to bathe my children in a stream when someone upstream is deficating in it. He's making the case for regression. Take oil away and the world collapses in chaos, death, disease and destruction. There's little mention of other players on the global economic scene and motives behind anti-American propaganda prevalent in many of the countries he writes about. Basicaly his twisted vision of America is our corporations enslave the world and we are selfish and greedy. All other nation leaders are either our pawns or not our pawns. The world isn't fair, but to place so much blame for the worlds problems on the USA is shortsighted. I think this book is shallow and I describe it as a work of fiction.
