Summary: Light Reading
Review: This book is interesting but the authors suggest that the Marx theory of "....taking property out of private hands and giving it to the state........But the corruption of the theory didn't necessarily disprove the underlying thinking." This is suprisingly shallow thinking when the failure of communism is so rampant worldwide. The underlying thinking of Marx is diaster. The social planning of Daivs and Meyer is evident in thier "saftey nets" and calls for socialized medicine. I expected more from this book.

Summary: Thought provoking? worth the read
Review: This book was required reading for one of my doctoral classes, it raises some interesting thoughts and opinions. It is worth the time to read it regardless of whether you agree with the authors' conclusions. It brings to light many of the changes that should (or have) come along with our new connected world and economy. Their ideas on the individual were especially thought provoking - their section on society was interesting despite the fact that I frequently disagreed with their conclusions. Again - definitely worth the time to read.
