Magnificently stirring ... a characteristically lucid polemic from
a philosopher who is far from willing to abandon humanity to the
vicissitudes of so-called global capitalism.
*Frieze*
In the tradition of revolutionary pamphleteering.
*Irish Times*
Compelling ... He deconstructs, with languid, sarcastic ferocity,
the notion that 'France chose Sarkozy' ... a very French piece of
political venom.
*The Observer*
Heir to Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser ... a thundering,
rallying tirade.
*New Statesman*
Incisive, incredibly readable and funny critique.
*Le Monde Diplomatique*
