I never cease to be amazed by McLaren s ability to bravely forge in his uniquely poetic, eloquent, impassioned and cross-disciplinary way beyond the accepted borders of mainstream academic discourse. In this volume, through his no-holds-barred analyses of capital and its aftermath as we pillage our way toward the double digits of this new century, he continues to distinguish himself as one of North America s leading Marxist scholars.--Marc Pruyn

McLaren has crafted a book that follows in the footsteps of Paulo Freire and other leading pedagogical thinkers. This is a book that not only educators need to engage, but students, teachers, intellectuals, and activists from all walks of life.--Daniel Kelly
