I'm not suprised. Neither is a "truth". I'm a software engineer. I believe
in facts and figures. A system of economics cannot determine a persons
behaviour to that extent. Bill Gate's isn't thinking "I don't like this,
but darn, I've got no choice". Naomi Klein is a fuzzy minded bandwagon
jumper IMO. Stop buying her books and I'm sure she'd start wishing her
publishing company had taken out a few more ads.
