"This is a book from the 1960s in the sense that the author explicitly reclaims that period in the United States as one of revolt and subversion of accepted knowledge. ... The book will be useful to students in the United States looking to get a basic radical education on the workings of the system. It is very readable and accessible so it should definitely be read by students and activists." (Ronaldo Munck, Capital & Class, Vol. 42 (1), February, 2018)
"Dale Johnson has provided us with what amounts to a textbook on contemporary international capitalism and how to fight it. The book represents a lifetime of engaged scholarship, and given its macro-level approach, makes a unique contribution to our understanding of world events." (Martin Oppenheimer, New Politics, newpol.org, October, 2017)
