review 1: I absolutely LOVE this book. It's a quick read, with some very important points. It certainly sets a pretty good understanding of paradigm shifts, and presents a compelling argument for the ECONOMIC MONOCULTURE, what it says, and how this relates to individuals, businesses, and our values. This book should be read by everyone who can read it. I'd like to see it appearing in class rooms. And regardless of your creed, religion, political stance, and vision of where the world is, I think that it will give you some things to think about.
review 2: This book looks at our current economic monoculture- in other words, the way that the overarching narrative of economics has entered every aspect of our lives, from the obvious- like business- to the personal and creative... more. Perhaps what I liked most here was the idea of parallel cultures, rather than countercultures. In this idea, groups or ideas, like the slow food movement or pattern language architecture don't stand as a rejection of capitalism, but rather a different way to approach that aspect of life that exists parallel to the dominant economic model. This book is short, and I think some of the ideas could use some fleshing out, but it has given me some food for thought regarding what aspects of my life I want to live in a parallel way. less
