review 1: in general a very good description of how micropower is on the rise with lots of very good examples. in parts for sure exaggerated (big companies still make a lot of money and are increasing market share - so it is a bit premature to talk about the rise of the small players) but that adds to the sense of a paradigm shift. the only criticism is that it is a big repetitive - a bit shorter with more on how we can act and succeed under the end of power would have been better.
review 2: This book should be a (new) compulsory text for anyone studying / interested in power and politics. Systematic and comprehensive account of how power is not only shifting but inherently changing. Not all of it is necessarily his own original thought, but Naim nonetheless offers a com... morepelling argument as to why we need to recognize that power is not only changing hands, but that that our fundamental conceptions and assumptions surrounding 'power' are in need of redefinition as well. Loved it. less
