Title: Corporate-based revisionist propaganda. Don't bother.
Review: Simon and others of his ilk who talk about the wonderful world we live in do so from the luxury of 6- or 7-figure incomes in the First World. He argues that the more people we have, the more likely one will become an Einstein and solve all our problems. This is Salvationistic thinking at its worst, and it's clear from his writings that he's never visited the slums of Bangkok, Haiti, or Rio...or even Washington, DC. While his writings provide rationalization and succor for rich white men, reassuring them that they play no role in the ongoing misery of the 4/5ths of the planet who live on less than $10/day, they do not reflect reality at all -- unless it's the reality of a Manhattan penthouse condo. If you want the real story, read "Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor" or "Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" or "When Corporations Rule The World," all available here on amazon.com.
