Summary: One of the major works of the 21st Century
Comment: I read this when it was published in England under the title "Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order." I see the US publishers have changed the title, but no matter, it remains the most remarkable book I've read in this century and I suspect its influence will reverberate for the next one hundred years or more. Part of what I loved about it was how pithy he could be, making his points with remarkable elegance. I find myself seriously challenged by this book and hope I will rise to the challenges set forth in its pages. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about the future and changing the fate of our world.

Summary: A true eye opener on our world!
Comment: I normally don't read books like this because on most offer problems according to personal opinions. However, while performing research for my upcoming book on terrorism, I decided to read this for references. After all, a good part of terrorism's success comes from manipulating the "Have nots" to perform deadly acts on the "Haves".

For the most part, Monbiot has captured the right ideas on how to correct the world's political wrongness, but his solutions are far-fetched. This is no discredit to his ideas, but the reality that no world power like the USA and European nations are going to permit developing nations have a voice in their affairs. That, in itself, explains the problem of world globalization and why history will ultimately repeat itself once more as we soon will play witness to another world power fall and others to rise.

One topic that isn't address is the fact that there are mafias in the poorest of countries and the reality that most of these third world countries are kept in poverty because of their own governments desire to rule their people by keeping them in need. No matter how many steps are taken towards a world democracy, world corruption will continue to remain the largest single problem in maintaining peace on earth. And, as I started out this review, the terrorist know this all too well. They will continue to manipulate the needy to carry out their own devastating acts.
